[leeritson 0]

went out today with my two young hobs its only there second time out but they just wernt interested they would go in about 2 foot then just turn round and play about on the edge of the hole.do you think i should take an older ferret so they can follow that down or what we got one but that is terrible for 3 hours work

its always better to mix older with younger on first trips out

Are you sure the holes were occupied, as I get experienced workers refusing to look down vacant sets. Probably best take an older one along.

Yep work them alongside an older ferret, lots of young ferrets just doss around when first introduced to the hunting scene, bouncing around and playing.

It won't take them long to work it out alongside an experienced ferret.

I always start them with a older jill then after they start working on there own i still run the jill threw the burrow to check how they did .
