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.

These rabbits are collected for food, for my ferrets and people. This is a free range meat, that has lived a free life. These rabbits will be controlled even without me. By taking them myself, the meat is used. Ferreting is an environmentally friendly method of rabbit control.

The video is edited in a self explanatory way for all languages to understand. People under the age of 18 also practise ferreting and I aim to set a mature example. Contact between the animals is brief and is not the focus of the video. Rabbit dispatches are not shown. No blood or gore is present.
