Socializing Ferrets

[johnnyg33 0]

I have 2 hobs and 2 jills and was wondering if they can all be kept together?

No reason why not mate. I have 6 jills & two hobs (one entire, one castrated) & they all live quite happily together. The only time you'll have problems is when the jills start coming into season (anytime after New Years Day, as a general rule of thumb), & you'll need to to separate them. I'd advise clearing the hobs out a good couple of weeks before though, as if they're both entire they'll be knocking seven bells out of each other, as well as ragging the jills silly............

Thanks for that mate,been a long time since i've had any ferrets until i got this lot,seen them all running together before but didn't know what sexes they were,i'll give them a try later.

If i am introducing another ferret i introduce them on neutral ground first,no territory to fight over. That way you will get a rough idea on how they will first act together.

Forgot to mention if you don't want any little surprises next year, get their nuts lopped off or keep them seperate.

Thanks for the advice folks,put them all in the run yesterday afternoon and they get along fine,even when when i chucked a freshly shot magpie in to them they didnt quarrel.
