    Dont muzzle a ferret....Thats an old and hopefully long gone practice, I once dug down to my own ferret, to find a dead ferret, with a muzzle on in the hole, I have also luckily found a ferret, many years ago that someone that words couldnt describe...Had broken its teeth out with pliers...A real sportsman. I kept the same little ferret for years, Unfortunately he couldnt eat rabbit unless it was minced for him, but I gladly obliged, he had been through enough.

    Not only is it unfair in the instance that you loose the ferret he / she cannot survive on their own by killing rabbits, But should they, and more often than not they will, meet a rat below ground, the have no way to defend themselves...

    Be an ambassador for your sport, Muzzling is cruel and uncalled for, your ferrets put in the work for you, put in something in return for them.
