Hob&Jill 258 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hello. I am looking to breed my best hob this year as he is a really good ferret, literally from his very first outing at 20 weeks he has been the best out of my ferrets and most of my mates. Ive only got 2 Jills and one isnt great but the other jill, his sister, who although started slow is starting to come good. I didnt breed them but used to own the mum. I would have had some kits this year from the same breeding but the mum jill has died. So I definitly want a couple of kits from him but not is they are going to be short arms and banjo's! Has anyone bred brother sister ferrets? how did they turn out? or is it just too close to breed from? atb, H&J Quote Link to post

hagar 5 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 i think it easier to buy a ferret than breed them , as it a load of hassle really , but he asked would it do harm and if the parents are healthy it wont, so carry on with your silly comments Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yes go ahead and breed them if their is no faults with them how many foxes must mate with their litter siblings?A lot of the theorys on brother sister mateings are based on our own moral judgements on it knowing how wrong it is in humans.atb dell Quote Link to post
waidmann 105 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 first generation should be ok.after that i would see to getting another blood in( another good worker). atb Quote Link to post

riohog 5,938 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 i susspect there may be a fair bit of it going on ,but the breeder may well be very reluctant to addmit it !! Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Rumour has it that one of the best coursing strain of lurcher was produced by that method atb dell Quote Link to post
