are you going to be ferreting all year, or just winter months,
reason I ask, some people dont like using jills in season for ferreting, so if that were the case, Id suggest two hobs, yes trying to put two unknown hobs together would result in fights, but two hobs that have been kept together since birth may, as mine have, already know the pecking order and therefore have no need to fight,
if your just going to ferret winter months, get a couple of jills, as long as you keep the cage/court clean and feed healthy diet then there is no need to worry straight away about bringing them out of seas
