its the wrong time of the year because the rabbits have nests full of young and once the rabbits young are old enough the doe rabbit will cover up the nest and leave the young most of the day so what is happening is when you put your ferrets in the burrows there are no rabbits to bolt just young that cant ,and not all ferrets will kill the young so if the come out without any blood on them you would think the burrows are empty ,,,,,,,,,,,,,also i was told by the bloke that took me out when i started ferreting only to ferret when theres a R in the month
