With diseases, it depends where that particular line has originated from. Like I said, US ferrets are inbred and unhealthy and generally don't live beyond 7 years old from what I've read from owners over there. They also seem to be subject to a life of medication when they hit around 3-4 years old. Very sad. I would be interested in getting a ferret from over there because apparently the Marshall's breeders have bred them to be very docile and inactive so would be nice to do a comparison Our UK/European ferrets are most healthiest. Many people I know have had ferrets dying at 13-15 of old age

Yes I make/sell them finished with red oxide (metal primer)inside and 3 coats of Sikkens outside Y.I.S Leeview How much are the wheels mate?
-
The ferrets use them 24/7 365days a yearThe wheels are 18" high X71/2" wide The holes (4 each side)are 5" so will accomodate BIG hobs with ease, the mounting brackets are mounted either on the wall or from the roof, the axle is mounted on DELRYN anti friction bearings to give smooth free flowing movement. Any other questions Please just ask Y.I.S Leeview I will have to take a look at their hutch to see if it'll fit before I buy one mate. Do you sell them too?

Great stuff, thanks Vin. How often does he use it? Looked on the website links but doesn't give an indication of measurements, can you tell me what they are?

Am thinking of buying a ferret wheel myself but have huge hobs. The wheels ive seen look big enough to accommodate a jill but not much bigger. maybe im wrong?? Could someone clarify this for me please? Maybe a photo or two of their ferret using the wheel? cheers

Very interesting and am happy for you though I don't know why you couldn't just settle for a vasectomy, since the risk of adrenal problems in neutered ferrets is high along with insulinoma in the US cos they neuter at 5 weeks of age but even when they are neutered later in life there's a risk of serious hormone distruption. But I am not sure what the rules are in Aus. Was it your choice to neuter?

In cats it takes a month or so for the testosterone to leave the body prob same for dogs. But don't know how it works for ferrets, maybe castrated hobs can bring jills out of season cos their bodies are fooled into thinking insemination has taken place?
-
Its an uncommon thing but it does happen to a few who's pets have had the op and imagine their surprise that their pets are still coming into season That castrated hob defo sounds as if he's had a botched job done on him

Very rare mate! My neutered cats and dogs still hump things including each other i.e. cos their frustrated or dominance that's well known but actual mating doesn't happen. Your hob has had his balls removed so wouldn't think he'd still want to stick it in the jills Does actually successfully bring them out?? If he does, I would say that he has some testicular tissue left over that is giving him the instinctual urge.

If this comment was aimed at me then I can tell you I'm paying heed to the horrible experiences A FAIR FEW of my mates have. Nobody told me what I should and should not do. Their beloved animals died because they were left in season. As said above by Arrowdane, it really does depend on the animal as all are individuals. But my question is why take risks when you do not know whether or not its safe to leave your animals in season??????? Go on, give me a plausible answer.

Neil, many animals and all mustlelids can be tamed including mink. Its no big surprise as my step brother works pure eu's, which is an animal everyone seems to think cannot work. I also have some ferrets solely as pets and would trust them with any of my body parts!

I'm intrigued, how does a neutered hob bring your jills out of season? Surely he has no interest in sex.

What was wrong with her?

Love the homemade toys

The only thing obvious to me is that the jill is not herself which could be caused by a number of things. It could be related to being left in season or it might not, as you say a visit to the vet might be the best option Can't get my head round the second part of your reply. It might be something contagious yet you suggest getting it to a hob, I don't think the owner of the hob would be too happy if it went downhill aswell. All other things being equal, nobody should ever leave their jill in season without a vac hob or jill jab. Why take unecessary risks? Both the j

How about Laurel and Hardy?

Yeah spaying is the neutering for females. Its total sterilization so all reproductive tissue is meant to be removed. But vets are now coming to the realization that it does cause adrenal disease in a fair few so advise people on implants which does the same as jill jab I think.

I second that but I do like my colours though! A bit of an obsession for me

She needs to be taken out of season.

Go online lads! Forget petsathome, overpriced shite

Lovely colour on that hob Gaz I would defo agree he is a silver mitt. Silvers can come with polecat and sandy coats in many shades in my experience.

Then it will be RIP ferrets
