lee-kinsman Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sounds to me like your ferret was knackered! In my opinion a ferret should always have access to food and water in it's hutch that way you don't have to worry about running it on to full or to empty. I always take a drinker full of full fat milk I find that it helps them come out more confidently and quickley. Your ferret will always take a bit more time leaving a fresh kill. I reckon on average it take a ferret 30mins to kill and leave a bunny and even longer if it stays with it for a quick snack. I always try and do a full day using two ferrets work one,then the other. If you think about it, all that fighting and kicking and biting and chasing that goes on when they are working is tough stuff. Most people couldn't do 2 rounds in a ring with one opponant never mind a dozen one after the other. And using a locater?.. Yes, but if you have to dig your ferret out give it a rest and some treats.

Muggins. Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Take some water with you on the day. Water is as important to a ferret as food is. muggins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
