Fantastic Video! Loved my Ferrets when i had them. Going to get some more in the future to go rabbiting with.
Really well explained, Michael is an excellent spokesman for ferreting and for rabbits as a sustainable food resource. Thanks for uploading.
Nice video. Well made, well presented and very informative. Thanks.
Love my ferrets to bits, awesome little creatures

I love them … used to have them as a lad and go ferreting and had a real campion hob called Smoky. Unfortunately as an adult I seemed to have developed an allergy to the smell and it gives me a terrible headache. A shame as we did try to rehome a pair and they even got on with our German Shepherd.
Brilliant made video shame no rabbit caught but part of ferreting.
No way, I've never heard of that. I have eczema, so allergic to loads of animals, but these are hypoallegernic. Real shame for you mate!
They're Mustelides not muscavids
Rabbits are a pray animals (r/K selection theory) and are predated on by foxes, hawks etc and of course humans so it’s a good thing to keep their numbers down otherwise they can be very destructive to the environment.
