New To Ferrets

[northwestmitch 9]

Hi lads hope you can help me out, thinking of getting a couple of ferrets, new to ferrets and ferreting so hope you dont mind me asking questions from time to time, My question is the ferret being a social creature I have decided on getting two .

What am I better getting jills dont wont to breed from so have them neutered because of the seasons or get a hob and jill and get him done to get her out of season.

At the moment I am reading up on the subject but had a PM tonight asking what I sex I wont

I CAN FEEL A HEADACHE COMING ON,, LOL

wouldn't be a bad idea to get a jill and hob just make sure you do get him done! check that your happy with the vet charges of the op BEFORE you get the hob, , ,

when getting kits or adults make sure tempement and condition come before sex colour etc,

best of luck when you do get ferrets and ignore some of the arse holes on here

Two hobs I'd say. Less hassle in the long run with jills coming into season. If jills are kept nearby though, then the hobs are likely to fight in the breeding season so that may be an issue.

To do it right you really need a hob and two jills, get the hob snipped, no more problems, or just get two jills and have them jabbed, or borrow a snipped hob, or take your jills to some one who has a snipped hob, its up to you really, there's a lot of ways to go about it

Why not just get the jill(s) neutered, then you don't need to faff about every year.

 

And you don't have the problem of kits resulting from a badly done/reversed vascectomy.
