Dilemma

[scothunter 12,609]

Ok when i built my court i got some rubber hose and buried it under in the ground.I have another hose that allows my jill and 3kits to come from their hutch to the court.Well i put a cpl of pieces of rabbit in the hutch and my jill dragged it down the tube underground.I managed to fight the other piece of her before it went down aswell.Now its no easy task digging down to the tube and having to cut into the tube (i did it yesterday to get a ball) Fortuanaetly she dragged it back out.My question is will she leave meat down their and forget about it cz thats the last thing i need is rotten meat that i cant get to.

Not really i only just opened up the underground pipes other day,Dint want the kits going down till they were a bit bigger.My concern is she leaves it there.Suppose i could leave it whole so she couldnt drag it down to the run.Think thats what i will do.

Dont give ferret anything else to eat and eventually they will dispose of it themselves....must admit I never took you for a ferreting man big felllah but fair play to you

if its rubber, and not perforated plastic, cant you rig up some sort of adaptor, and every now and again, blast it through with a garden hose

Its a wide rubber hose and its deep down.What i did was cut some wooden blockers and i will put them on when i feed them and take them off in the morning when i remove what they aint ate.Cheers guys.

One thing i would bother about is them suffercating , if it gets to hot they may use it to sleep in & if it gets ferrets in both ends it will become hot , a chap a few yrs ago lost 12 ferrets due to this type off accident with pipes
