>Is it true? I heard that Ferrets where hunted in Germany. OK OK ROTFLMBO. Yes its true Ferrets were hunted in Germany. Just not in the way you think they were. The use ferrets in Europe like we use hunting dogs here. Over there Ferrets hunt mostly rabbits and some rodents. I have several websites on it Its fascinating. Here my dogs work hard at keeping the rabbit population down, but even with their efforts we still counted over 70 rabbits IN MY YARD. LOL. I would never have the guts to try my ferrets out on rabbits. Although they do well at catching the occasional escaped hamster and mouse. And yes without any prompting the little buggers ate them.
