Shame about the ferrets, but I have been enjoying watching your biking videos with bramble. Would love to see the process of building the chicken coop too, you could even put a hutch in there and have quails also😂

Yeah I can do a video of the coop build starting with me stripping out the penthouse. I'll be starting that in the coming weeks so I can do updates. They'll be more biking videos and paddle boarding too. Thinking about getting a 360 camera but that won't be until next year now.

Love your ferret set up. Found you after looking up training ferrets to hunt rats. Came up with the video where the youngters are clambering all over you. Sound advice. We have a small hobby farm with a few goats and chickens in Lancashire and have a rat population. Shot a few and shepherds have killed some but, we know they are breeding. Seriously considering a few ferrets to send down the holes they have made in a few locations. But wonder if we invest in keeping them and they are interested. Would you have any advise please?

Personally I've never used ferrets to catch rats. I know people do use them and do do it. But if you send a ferret down a rat hole and the rat runs out you'd need some way of stopping/catching the rat when it does. Either net with small enough holes or a dog quick enough to catch the rat.

Yes I think my cross malinios is pretty swift@@ruralpestcontrol she got a nip off one but still eager to catch them. We know someone with a working Jill. So hope he has some terriers to bring with her too if he can find the time. Thanks for getting back to me. All the Best 🎄
