Frantic Ferret Foray - Sunrise Ferreting 23 Zeus Polecat 2019-08-09 | Athena the old pro takes Leto out for another hunting lesson. Young Leto takes a while to settle and focus on the task in hand.The hedge that runs along this flooded field is overun with rabbits. The warren beside this paticular one is too big for me to currently net, let alone film. The fields to the other side of this hedge are used for growing crops and during the warmer months the fields can be eaten back by twenty meters or so. If these rabbits are not kept in check, the crop the farmer grows here will simply become rabbit food. The farmer would be forced to raise his prices to compensate for the loss. If rabbits were allowed to do this on a mass scale, the price of our supermarket products would rise. --------------------------------------------------------------Merchandise/Productsteespring.com/stores/zeus-polecatTip jar / Contributepaypal.me/zeuspolecatContributions will go towards hunting equipment, ferret upkeep and filming/editing equipment.Facebook / contacthttps://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100015392026350&ref=content_filter--------------------------------------------------------------These rabbits are collected for food, for my ferrets and people.

Young Ferret Gains Her Confidence - Going After Rabbits Solo - Sunrise Ferreting 21 Zeus Polecat 2019-03-30 | A young ferret takes the leap and tackles rabbits by herself for the first time.instagram.com/zeus_polecatI decided to try Leto by herself, so she had to do all the work alone. She has learnt from and relied upon an experienced ferret until now. As we can see, Letos confidence builds gradually over time, and the pressure builds upon the rabbit. For many minutes, the rabbit thought it could evade the inexperienced attacker, in the hopes it would leave through fear/boredom. I'm glad to see Leto sticks to her job until the end.After I catch a rabbit, I squeeze its bladder to clear the urine. Urine can taint the meat. I also have to be careful when gutting the rabbits, as a broken intestine can also leave meat unsuitable for human consumption. I always make sure my purse nets are packed away neatly, as setting up can be be frustrating with tangled nets. It's best to make sure no debris or twigs are caught in the nets.--------------------------------------------------------------Merchandise/Productsteespring.com/stores/zeus-polecatTip jar, Contribute, Supportpaypal.me/zeuspolecatContributions go towards hunting equipment, animal upkeep, filming/editing equipment.

Playful Huntress - Sunrise Ferreting 20 Zeus Polecat 2019-01-25 | The young ferret Leto finds rabbit holes too exciting, but gets reminded why she’s there.I don’t expect too much from a young ferret during its first year of working. Her true colours will show next season. A ferrets working prime will be years three and four, when experience and physical ability are balanced. I’m still using her beside Athena, the darker six year old jill, to set a good example. I'd like Brook and Leto to settle their differences before next winter as they would make a great team. If that works out, Athena will only be used occasionally, for easy warrens, for her own enjoyment, if anything. I can sense her tiring on these longer outings now.I'm not exactly sure how the first rabbit escaped. Unfortunately no camera had a perfect angle on it. I suspect the pole slipped out of the hard ground for a moment which allowed the rabbit to slip under. This hill is extremely rocky, which makes it hard to long net effectively. --------------------------------------------------------------Merchandise/Productsteespring.com/stores/zeus-polecatTip jar, Contribute, Supportpaypal.me/zeuspolecatContributions go towards hunting equipment, animal upkeep, filming/editing equipment.

Young Ferrets First Day - Sunrise Ferreting 19 Zeus Polecat 2018-12-22 | A ditsy young ferret inadvertently scares rabbits from their hole as she explores the unfamiliar environment.After quickly bolting a lone rabbit, I ventured further up the hedge and found a warren with lots of freshly kicked dirt around the entrances.Nine months old is an ideal age to introduce a ferret to hunting rabbits. They can be started earlier in life but if they receive a particularly bad kick from a rabbit it may discourage them. Leto has been eating rabbit and I have got her used to wearing a collar prior to her first day hunting. She has received no training. I'm relying on her natural curiosity and prey drive to seek out and harass the rabbits. I expect her performance to improve with experience alone. Athena is being worked beside her to set a good example and get the rabbits moving around the warren. The rabbits seem to sense the confidence of each ferret and don't seem too bothered about the clumsy intruder at first.--------------------------------------------------------------Merchandise/Productsteespring.com/stores/zeus-polecatTip jar / Contributepaypal.me/zeuspolecatContributions will go towards hunting equipment, ferret upkeep and filming/editing equipment.Facebook / contacthttps://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100015392026350&ref=content_filter--------------------------------------------------------------Why I hunt rabbits - These rabbits are collected for food, for my ferrets and people.

Friendly Fire - Sunrise Ferreting 18 Zeus Polecat 2018-11-30 | Two ferrets squabble while they hunt rabbits underground.I used a trail camera to see how well used this warren was. It appeared to have some activity so I set up the nets and waited for the fog to lift. I was hoping Brook would bond better with the other ferrets if she worked beside them. I tried to keep the two ferrets somewhat separate by entering them in different ends of the warrens.

Myxomatosis was discovered in South America during the late 1800's. It was intentionally introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control the problematic rabbit population. Two years later the disease was introduced into France and found it's way into Britain a short while after. It's unknown whether it was intentionally introduced into the UK, but once in the country, it was certainly encouraged to spread.Allowing the ferret to see the rabbit after it’s dispatched will encourage the ferret to go back to ground. Otherwise they may keep searching for it.

Rumble in the Roots - Sunrise Ferreting 9 Zeus Polecat 2016-12-22 | Athena the jill ferret persistently tracks a rabbit through its burrow until it bolts. Purse nets are used to cover each hole. The ferret is then entered to flush/herd the rabbit out. Once caught in the net the ferreter ends the hunt quickly and humanly. It is believed ferrets were originally domesticated for this purpose.

Outbreak - Sunrise Ferreting 5 Zeus Polecat 2016-01-28 | A warm winter has allowed a terrible virus to break out, infecting many rabbit populations. Myxomatosis was discovered in South America during the late 1800's. It was intentionally introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control the problematic rabbit population. Two years later the disease was introduced into France and found its way into Britain a short while after. It's unknown whether it was intentionally introduced into the UK, but once in the country, it was certainly encouraged to spread.The virus is transmitted through biting insects. Mosquitoes spread the disease over large distances in warmer climates. In the UK rabbit fleas and tics are mainly to blame as they carry the disease on their mouth parts from rabbit to rabbit.The symptoms include puffiness and swelling around the head, mouth, eyes and genitals. Infected rabbits often seem slow, weak and unaware of their surroundings. As it continues the rabbits develop a fever, struggle to eat and can go blind. The disease takes hold within days and kills most rabbits in under fourteen days as they develop pneumonia.Humans, dogs and ferrets cannot catch myxomatosis as the disease exclusively infects rabbits. Infected rabbits that are found should be humanly dispatched and preferably buried to prevent present parasites from moving on.--------------------------------------------------------------Merchandise/Productsteespring.com/stores/zeus-polecatTip jar / contributepaypal.me/zeuspolecatContributions will go towards hunting equipment, ferret upkeep and filming/editing equipment.Facebook / contacthttps://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100015392026350&ref=content_filter--------------------------------------------------------------Rabbit control and the law - gov.uk/guidance/rabbits-how-to-control-numbers
