When I go ferreting I always catch at least 10 rabbits in one big day. Its sandy country and the rabbits are big. Over all I have caught 65 rabbits this year. I have two ferrets one is called ‘fezza’ and one is called ‘killer’.   The other pets I have are chooks/ducks/dogs and lambs. I live on a sheep and cattle farm in south west Victoria. My favourite things to do are spot lighting/fishing/foot ball and cricket. Spotlighting is when I go with my Dad at night time, with the ute or walking, with a big spotlight and we go shooting rabbits and foxes. Both these are farm pests.             Â

Now you are bringing back memories of when I was young and went spotlighting with my brothers. What a great post.
It sounds like you have great fun with your dad.
I used to go fishing in the Pacific Ocean with my Grandfather, that may sound great but I was afraid of the Sharks!
Great story, I enjoyed my visit.

What do you feed your ferrets on? Do you have a photo of them? Do you see snakes in the summertime. When I was young, we also used to go spotlighting on my Granny’s farm. They were great times. We used to catch quite a few foxes. We have a swamp down the back of our place and the shooters come in and catch quite a few foxes. Our dog caught a really big hare the other day and guarded it for ages.
I have know people who have had ferrets as pets, but I have never before met anyone who kept working ferrets. This was very interesting.
