Ive failed badly

[reynardhunter 3]

I have a 14 month old ferret hob,I have tried my upmost to get this animal to work,day in day out I have taken him out,with friends,on my own.I have on more than 1 occasion kept him just a tad hungry,not starving mind but definitely peckish.NOTHING WORKS.I cannot get him to travel for a starter but if he does on the rare occasion run the warrens he never searches for his prey.After he has tried the depts of the warrens I run my old reliable hob and out comes a rabbit or two.Rabbits that the other idiot should have found.I started him at 8 months old and have had him out dozens of times since.I got the hob in from a mate and he was a pleasure to rear,quiet and easily to handle.The one thing about him is hes hyper active,hes a million miles an hour and he is a nightmare to catch if he slips out of the bury.I have come to the decision to part company with him.He will hopefully go to a polish friend that keeps the ferret as pets.If she is not able to take him he will be humanely put to sleep.It is the first ferret that I can remember not making the grade.There must have been others but after 30 years of having ferrets I probably chose not to remember the bad ones.I am going to replace him with a young hob and i hope he will make it ok.The thought I had was if anything should happen to the older hob I'd be in a right fix.I recieved a fine young hob from Maltenby on here and my mate hunts him with me and what a ferret he's turned out to be,up and on,bolting most of his quarry.I now regret not keeping him,lol.I do see him hunting every weekend and am glad hes going great.Pat on the back for producing a damn good ferret MAL How the old hob keeps going I'll never know.This week alone I've been out Sunday,Monday,Tuesday and thursday.We are out again Sunday,I had the young hob with me all these days and wasted more time trying to get him hunting. I dont intend to bring the youngster anymore as I end up bloody boiling over watching him prick about,Ive lost hope in him.I thought I'd put a post up with a difference to a lot you read on here.Its great to read about the good ones but no harm either to read about the one that just hasnt got the granite to make a good one.Whats your input on this,I am looking forward to your views on the subject,JIGSAW.

Thanks a lot BRL.I'll wait for one from you so if ye dont mind.Its good to know theyre from good stock.My problem is I keep to myself a lot and dont know who has what so when looking for a replacement its a bit tricky.Looking forward to the time.Might see you at a show this year if your about.

some ferrets just dont make the grade I guess. only get out of the breeding wat you put in
