One of my entire hobs will work well all year round, doesn't matter if he's in rut or not, he enjoys being worked
-
Hiya peeps, I had a hob vasectomised mid February, he's mated 2 jills at the start if this month so now it's just a waiting game to see if he's firing blanks or if the jills will have kits. Obviously I'm hoping the op was successful because I don't like breeding more than 2 litters at a time and I've already got 2 jills that might be pregnant, too early to tell yet as they've only just been mated.

hob wanted 10 to 12 months old
Frolicking Ferrets replied to troyboy17's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I've got a litter due around the start of June and the jill has thrown dark eyed white kits in the past. -
Been ages since I've been in here because I forgot to login then forgot my password, just reset it now and the layout of the forum has changed though it's still pretty easy to use Anyway, I haven't done much ferreting this season so far, only been the once with my experienced hob and the hob I bred this year... Literally not much happened that time, only a few rabbits bolted and that was only when my experienced hob was in the warren. But the main reason I haven't been on the forum is because I've been switching college campuses and changing courses altogether because broomfield is shit

These started opening at 3 weeks and all had eyes open before 4 weeks. They're really well developed kits then

Of all things ferrets choose to sleep in and she chooses raw meat packaging lol

I've got an albino hob, he's 4 now. Originally brought him as a vasectomised hob but he wasn't, I'm keeping his son from this litter my weird coloured jill just had so either I need to get him neutered or rehome him.

"Panda faced ferrets" seriously? You've got to be kidding me, this sounds like whoever is selling them has no idea what they're on about.

Wanted Black Eyed White Ferret Kit

That's why I don't breed from the special marked ferrets, just to avoid that issue. -
Wanted Black Eyed White Ferret Kit
Frolicking Ferrets replied to Work them hard's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
impossable, if both parents are albino all the offspring will be albino. The characteristic for albinism is carried by a recessive gene, so if you mate two pure pink eyed albinos you get nothing but albino kits Thanks for letting me know. Though I didn't expect polecat coloured kits when I put my light silver to my other albino hob last year, even though the parents to the light silver jill are albino to dew. -
Wanted Black Eyed White Ferret Kit

Why a DEW? Why not an albino? Or a light silver? Since light silvers usually turn DEW. Dunno if one of my pairings for this year with throw DEWs or not, I'm assuming not though since its albino to albino but it's possible there maybe 1 or 2 in that litter. -
Only a small handful of jills have the ability to bring themselves out if season like an EU can, my albino jill can according to her previous owner. My first ferret could be she only did it twice then was jill jabbed on her 3rd season, something changed in her temperament after the jill jab, she started biting other people then when she as 5, I got her implanted and her behaviour went somewhat back to normal. I have heard of jills not surviving to the age of 3 due to not being brought out of season. V hobs are good but jills will come back into season about 7 weeks later and mother the othe

"Launch a bird carcass over the fence" I have done that before, it landed on someone's head.

Where's his proof? Unless he has proof that they're evil, he can't say shit. And to prove him, well I'm sure you already know how, it's not difficult to prove they're not evil. They sound like really shittie neighbours to have, I'm sorry that you have to live next to some shitheads.

Well, Thats Me Done For The Season
Frolicking Ferrets replied to tsteve9999's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
If I was closer to you then I could give you a kit when I breed my two working albinos this year. -
That's the most bullshit advice I've ever heard to be give out, never been fond of the RSPCA due to their over nosiness when rehoming animals they've rescued. But after reading the advice they gave about the ferret, now I just think they're useless two legged twat monkeys. Glad you managed to ferret rescue member take the hob instead of going by the shit advice given by the RSPCA.

None of jills are in yet but I'm expecting my albino jill to come in soon, she always comes in first.Cause for the appitite lose will be the hormones, a lot of jills go a little bit off their food and lose a bit of weight when they come into season. They soon get their appitite back though.
-
Well except for the locator collar not fitting one of them, but he's never killed underground.
-
Why small? What's wrong with average or large ferrets for working? I've never had an issue working larger hobs.

Unpredictable Demon Of A Jill

Good to hear you're having some progress with your jill. -
Unpredictable Demon Of A Jill

NEVER READ OWT AS DAFT AS THIS IN MY LIFE Speaking from experience, this method ZuesPolecat has mentioned is rather effective so shut up and don't be a disrespectful arse. -
Unpredictable Demon Of A Jill
Frolicking Ferrets replied to RTurlough's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
I have a jill that's like this, the cause of this unwanted behaviour is just the jill being territorial. Get her out with a glove then after closing her hutch take the glove off and handle her normally, she should be fine then. Failing that, lather your hands in hand sanitizer, they hate the smell and the taste so she'll not likely bite if she can smell that on you. -
So far I've not had any ticks or fleas this ferreting season, last ferreting season, I had a few ticks but that was it.

Good to see that they're doing well.

James Well Beloved is the poorest quality ferret food there is in this country, it used to be a brilliant one but then it got took over by the company that makes Mars bars, they've removed a lot of the ingredients so there's nearly no nutritional value to the food anymore. Alpha ferret feast seems to be a good ferret food but can make them get grubby teeth quickly, Selective is another ferret food that seems to be a good one but can be expensive. CSJ Ferret kibble so far from when I've used it, is a good one, and keeps their teeth clean because it's got bone in the kibble, it's also not overl
