    Just checking my options for the spring. I have two jills just over a year old and had them booked into the vets to be done. But at the last moment changed my mind encase one is a very good worker and I decide too have a litter in the future. So my options when they come into season are too sit tight and hope all is well. I don't member ever having problems when I had ferrets as a kid. Buy a hob and have him done for the purpose and also work him. I have read a vasectomised hob will bring jill out of season ? The jill jab is it a once a year thing ? Or find a localish vasectomised h

    How much do you handle them ? I try to handle my twice daily when I feed them even if it is only to pick them up quick stroke and back down again cause they were a little bit nippy too start as the wife found out But they are fine now

    Yes I made an extra hole it now fits nice and tight but not so as too strangle her, also snipped a bit off and cut a nice point on it so all is good

    yea I understand what you mean I don't handle by the scruff as a rule. I used too my terriers but I guess ferrets are ok with that

    How tight do you put them on. Been getting my two used too it this morning. But the way it is fitted at the moment if they did decide too pull it over there heads they could on the other hand if I try do it up one more notch they don't like it much. There necks seem the same thickness as there heads. But they don't seemed bothered by them apart from when I am putting them on. I guess if they did get snagged under ground being able to pull out of one would be a good thing

    Thanks for the info every one and the shavings tip. Will ring the vet in the morning get them both done then the breeding side of things is sorted. That will be a worry other wise. They look in great health at the moment so want too keep them that way.

    mmm interesting would the hormone injection be a one off ? I read that it needs to be done before they come into season. Better ring the vet and get a price and advice. Might also ring the chap incase they have been breed all ready too

    Well at the ripe age of 42 after not having ferrets since I was about 20 I have decided to get back into it. Made the first step tonight and went too pets at home nad bought a rather nice looking hutch. Then met a chap who had a lovely couple of jills for sale just over a year old they seem great too handle. When I got every thing home it came as quite a surprise too the wife and kids who new nothing about it. Much too my amazement the girls are over the moon all most a much as the wife is She has been digging out some jumpers for there bedding for tonight Will pick up some straw and saw

    I have a 5 year old cocker spaniel who is basically a house dog and addicted too food. But he shows great interest in rabbits I bring back with the air rifle. I wonder what my chances of turning him into a marking dog would be. I have not used ferrets for about 25 years but did love it. The only thing stopping me is the trying too ferret with out a marking dog. We have plenty of rabbits in the area but not great banks of warrens etc so I would be pushed too find inhabited holes. Saying that it might be better than trying too turn this dog into a great marker like my little jack Russell used to
