miniswell Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 best thing to do is gut a rabbit and put it in a purse bet and leave it in the hole like its been caught and will come up within minutes! as soon as they smell guts ad keep squeaking like a distressed rabbit! you will find it very soon with that method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretertom Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 best thing to do is gut a rabbit and put it in a purse bet and leave it in the hole like its been caught and will come up within minutes! as soon as they smell guts ad keep squeaking like a distressed rabbit! you will find it very soon with that method Unfortunately not always though.. still a good tip to keep in mind but i dont put ferrets to ground with out locator collars espeachly big ones. Block all the holes up put the live trap down with food and bedding, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90bhp Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 How big is the burrow ? Hope youve not left it too late to dig the little fella out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckyshot Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Abit late now but what I would have done would be get someone else with a hob ferret and locator to put it down the same set. If your ferret was still down there he would most definately find it, a bit of digging and both would be retrieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin lad Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 happened to me once lucky for me it had a collar on so dug it out only to find the burrow had caved in behind it so it could not of got out, colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggins. Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 IF..you are sure he`still in there (he could have killed and blocked himself in) block every hole and go back periodically. Block every hole, he stays there. Leave a hole open, he can still wander off. +1, use collars and locators. 9 times out of 10 you know where they are.
