After he pops up, I usually run him through about three more times through different holes and if he still keeps appearing, I can be pretty sure nothing is home. If it doesnt reappear after about ten mins it probably means hes trying to shift a rabbit.

 

As well as being quiet, make sure you arnt standing directly in front of the holes, as if the rabbit sees you waiting when hes about to make a dash for it, it will probably back off into the hole again.

You just got to know your ferret mate if mine dissapear for more than five /ten minutes i can say there into a rabbit if they start showing at all the holes i will lift them ,But i dont class mine as a working ferret till they have done a couple of seasons graft in the first season i check the burrows after they have worked it with a older ferret

I find that my ferrets will appear at the entrances but if they dart back down then i know there is more in the warren. If on the other hand they come out and start messing about then i know that it's empty. As previously said it is all to do with experience the more you do it the more you will understand your ferrets.
