FERRETING - For hundreds of years the main use of ferrets was for hunting rabbits, called ferreting. Because of their long, lean build and natural instinct for digging and burrowing, they are very well equipped for getting down holes and chasing rabbits or other rodents out of their nests. They are still used for hunting in some countries, in the United Kingdom, Scotland and Australia, where rabbits are a plague species and, despite the availability of of modern technology, the combination of a few nets and a ferret or two remains very effective. In Portugal and in the U S, ferreting has been made illegal.

The first ferrets were brought to England how many years ago?
It is believed that ferrets arrived in Britain about the 12th century, either by the Romans or the Normans which both where known to have kept rabbits for food animals as they traveled. As rabbits were introduced to other countries as a food source, it was followed by the ferret. The first written evidence of ferrets being used for rabbiting in Britain was in a court roll of 1223. In 1281, it was documented that a ferreter was attached to the English Royal Court.
