Ferret muzzles

Two different types of ferret muzzles.

On the left is a rod muzzle and on the right is a spring muzzle. Rabbit hunters used ferrets to go into the tight rabbit warrens and flush the prey out into nets placed at the warren exits. The muzzles were fitted over the snout of the ferrets to ensure they did not kill the rabbits.
