Views on spaying jills?

[jacrabbit 0]

What are your views on spayed Jill’s? I don’t often hear about spayed Jill’s in the forums. I was thinking of maybe adopting a spayed Jill or getting a kit and having her spayed. Don’t know how much that will cost though. Not looking right away just thinking for when I do get a ferret. what would be best

ive got a young jill. my hob cost 50 bar to get done. it calmed him down alot.

If it was me and i wasn't going to breed from her and i didn't have access to a vasectomised hob,then i would have her spayed. There is also the jill jab to consider but some vets will only do this once or twice.

 

Phone around ferret friendly vets in your area or click this link and find out how much this costs,as there are a few different prices/quotes out there. Prices range from £55 to way over £100.It pays to phone around.

 

Edited to add: There are health issues if the jill is left in season. So it's something to think about before getting your jill.

thanks. there are quite a few on that list near me have book marked it. i rally want a baby kit. i will keep her indoors most of the time as i already have an indoor cage. but want to have the big run and house in the outhouse for times when she cant be in the house. i have thought about getting two, but as ferrets are so new to me i think one will be better, asi can give it all my time and maybe get another at a later date. if only my oh new i have it all pland lol

I think i would get a hob and get him snipped as its a easier operation and i work my jills and if they turn out a cracking worker i can always borrow a hob to breed from
