My, others would say better half is in to his air gun's ... now along with my 10 year old son and I feel my 2 other son's shortly, now being the only lady in the house I can not be out done by this and needed a way in to the endless conversations As we own 2 hobs (always been fat pets) I thought it would be a good idea to start ferreting ... we breed and show domestic rabbit but all our boys have been brought up on a healthy diet of potbunny, our fat ferrity boys have been reared on still borns and culled runts.
Now I am very new to ferreting, have read through some other threads that are also new to it also which has helped, but how do you get a ferret to 'work' are my 1.5 year old too past it to 'trained' They are very soppy and used to a rather soft living. I thing they would cuddle up next to a furry bunny if given half the chance
I was going to try and get hold of two young jills and make my first attempts at working these as I have 'read' that jills make better workers as they get through the nets better. What is the best age to start working them?
Ho, and one more question, I am a lousy hit with an air rifle and wouldn't trust not taking my toes off with a spade ... which way is the best way to dispatch potbunny quickly?
Thanks for all and any help!
