    Just wondering if anyone knows what the fella was called from Wakefield who work for Northern power grid that calibrated the mk1  & mk2 knocking boxes sold the collars too. Was on here some years back might still be on here. 

    Not sure if it’s the same fella but David Hubbard is your man, he’s on Facebook

    Had a quote last week for £128. Got him going in on Wednesday for a pre op appointment as they insisted they wouldn’t do without checking him first. They best not charge extra for that!

    In this day and age it will be to make sure he identifies as a hob ferret and nothing else

    I got quote off second vet 240 and then bingo a third vet 95 quid with out sending test away. 
    So went from £660 down to 95 so happy that. I guess Hob needs to be in season to be done ? 

    Not for a vasectomy terry I don’t think, £95 sounds abit more realistic, just make sure you leave him a good 6 weeks til you put him over your jills

    Yes they can catch a STD which makes them infertile no problem for the hob but if you want to breed a replacement litter from the jill you cant  

    Had it happen many years ago, a mate brought in a jill that had been left  in season used his snipped hob over her the season after he went over all our jills, then when we came to breed a litter, non of the jills would take, we used different hobs and still nothing, a conversation with a vet and some lengthy research on his part proved they had contracted the ferret equivalent of a sti he gave me a course of antibiotics to put the jill on and heypresto a litter of kits was produced, after that I have only every used my snipped hob on my own jills
