Hi! my first post here.Yes I have worked ferrets for years,made a living for a while doing rabbit clearance.I personally prefer Hobs,the real kind,not castrated.It only means you keep `em seperate for the Summer.When the Jillscome out of season they all go in together `til Spring.
As for walking ferrets on leads HMMM.
First and foremost they are working animals,but they are not greyhounds!
Keep them in good clean runs/cages,and carry them to your hunting grounds in a box.Oh,and but a good book-Practical Ferreting by Fred J Taylor is a good one,or Modern Ferreting by DB Plummer.
Sorry if my first post sounds a little impatient,but I have been round the block on this one.Enjoy your ferrets.
