Yes thanks for the answers, I ended up taking her out so I could handle the kits more, they are eating half a rabbit per night and drinking from the bottle so I think they are coming on good, just like gnipper said she was going crazy she will be alright tho seems to be settling down with the other 2, cheers for the help

Hi just had my first litter and they are 6 weeks on Monday, eating rabbit, pigeon, mice, dry food and drinking I’ve spoken to some people and different people say different things some say I should separate them around 7 weeks some dont Separate them at all but I’ve heard of mothers eating their kits at 7 weeks old so the question I’m asking is should I put the mother back in with my other Jill’s so I can really start to handle the kits on their own, cheers

Hi I have 5 kits 2 hobs 3 Jill’s and I’m thinking about keeping this silver jill but on the other hand there’s a silver hob and I need a hob to bring my Jill’s out in future seasons but I was thinking even if he has a vasectomy is it still incest if I use him to take out that silver hill from the same litter and the hill I used for the litter, obviously if I was breeding him with them it would be incest but if I check the vasectomy works on my other Jill’s that have no correlation to him and it has worked would it be alright to use him on the Jill’s he is family with? The only reason I’m think

Hi just some advice please last year I got 1 Jill jabbed twice as she came back in, now I’ve got 3 and I didn’t manage to find a hob to vasectomise over the winter so now I have one Jill that is fully in season 1 that is half and 1 that is just starting, I know some people just keep the cage clean and take the risk but I would prefer to be on the safe side, I’m keeping the cage clean at the minute and thinking instead of getting 2 jabs could I wait until mid summer around end of may to get them jabbed so I only have to do it the once that would mean they have been in season a few months, I als

So I might as well get a big one then cheers mate ?

Would a half micro hob be able to take my Jill’s out of season, he looks smaller than my Jill’s so I would think not but just wondering am I better off getting a big one to take them out wouldn’t mind a half micro but only allowed one more so I couldn’t get both , cheers

Built a double story cage for a hob as I’m finally allowed one after loads of convincing and saying how expensive the Jill jabs are?but once I’m finished the hutch I’m gonna look for a hob around 7 8 months old and get is vasectomised so I can bring my 3 Jill’s out of season. My questions are will one hob be alright on its own obviously in the winter they will be together and in the summer one Jill with go in with the hob, I know hobs fight if they are together unless brothers but I only want one really just for my Jill’s and I won’t be allowed 2 hobs, also the Jill’s will have phantom pregnan

Just came back from a few days ferreting and my mates rabbits are covered in liver fluke which isn’t the best but the ferrets are all covered in around 30 small black and white ticks each I just wonder if the burrows and land is covered in them it’s proper dirty like the rabbits look healthy from the outside

Does it sound strange that my ferrets that eat fresh meat everyday won’t even sniff a skinned rabbit, they are amazing Jill’s and after a few days working I gave them a rabbit and they haven’t ate it in 2 days so I have to give them some tripe. I think it’s strange that they won’t even bite the rabbit even when I cut it up in chunks I wonder if they know the rabbit is diseased as my mates rabbits all have liver fluke apart from 2 which I took. They aren’t keen on pheasant but that’s game they love pigeon. Just thought I’d share it as I think it’s very strange that they killed rabbits yesterday

Normally feed my ferrets a mixture of vermin and a bit dry now and then however they are putting on weight I know it’s due to winter however a lad I was talking to said he feeds his every 2 days so should I feed them every few days instead of everyday but they always seem hungry or am I over feeding them by feeding them everyday? Seemed alright in the summer I think it’s the fat they are putting on for winter that’s making them look big, cheers

Hi, just wondering what people use to kill fleas. I freeze my rabbits to reduce the number of fleas my ferrets get and when they eventually do get fleas from the grass or whatever I use a little spot on from Amazon however every now and then I see the odd one, how do people not have problems with fleas? Thanks

Hi all, now that I have 3 Jill’s I’m looking into getting a hob for next years season however I don’t want loads of kits so I have settled for the idea of vasectomy to bring them out of season. Does the hob have to be 6 7 months Or can I get the opp done when the ferret is any age eg 1 year. So would it be more beneficial to get a hob kit and get it vasectomised when it’s 6 months or get a year old hob and get it vasectomised straight away or does it not make much difference. Thanks ?

Hi all, my Jill came back into season and because she is staying at my mates for a week I got the jab to be on the safe side she started loosing hair on her tail a few weeks before coming into season and it’s just gotten worse and worse and now she has no hair on the underside of her tail when I went to the vets for the jab she told me it’s probably the heat whereas I think it’s adrenal disease. Her hair now comes out very easily when handling. Hopefully she is shedding and it will come back at some point however it doesn’t look very promising any ideas? Should I go to the vets for treatment o

What so if she doesn’t go back down within 3 4 weeks I should get her jabbed to ensure she doesn’t die?

Jabbed my Jill back in April now she has came back in is it advised to get it again? Cheers
