Brimmer 220 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 The ferret that caused the bold patch wants a medal, this was a rabbit with it's arse up, they take some shifting and the ferret has stuck at it till it moved it! They take some getting past in this position! Quote Link to post

Brimmer 220 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Is it not just hammering the back end untill it moves? Most of mine will do this if they cannot get past to the head end, you struggle to get your hand past them to there legs to pull them out when they do this? Quote Link to post
John-B 4 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Dunno mate, I can't see underground so can only assume what it's up to :11: Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I found my collars were the same until I'd used them a few times, they seem to go slack for the first few outings, after that they are ok, five foot dig, bet that kept the pair of you warm. Quote Link to post

Brimmer 220 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Ferrets a good un then! These are the hardest rabbits to shift, even a mans hand can struggle to shift them so it's way harder for the ferret to do it. (plus there is probably a few stuck in front of it!) Some stick at it, some come away. Probably for maybee more than 10 yrs, most of my work has been clearing everything out, mostly i'd say 60% digging them out. (if this on average is 15 digs a day you know the score) When you see most of your bag come from beneath the sod, and see the critters doing (or not doing the job) below the turf, you know exactly what is going on down there. Sounds like the ferret you have is good un mate, keep hold of that one. Quote Link to post
