Cranfield Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Working rats with ferrets is a matter of personal choice. I (and many others I know) have cleared stables and other areas of rats, using ferrets , nets and dogs standing by. None of my ferrets have ever been harmed beyond the odd nip. Rats will not stand and face a ferret by choice and usually exit the holes very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
