albert64 1,882 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 why dont you ask has someone got a vasectomised hob in your area you could end up with over 40 ferrets mate if you cant get a vasect hob dont breed from them they wont die, its an old wives tale albert Quote Link to post
gundogbob 1 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) i aggree with albert just keep the housing well clean as they are more likly to get ill/die from infection than not being bread from if you end up with kits they can be quite hard to get rid of even for free Edited March 6, 2011 by gundogbob Quote Link to post
rabbiting josh 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 even if i do breed from them can they have their kits together? Quote Link to post
gundogbob 1 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) even if i do breed from them can they have their kits together? hope fully someone will give you a more deatailed answer but from my own expierince to of my jill were bred from last year as i needed stock and i knew people who wanted the rest one jill was a great mother and the other did not want to know her kits so i had to put them in with the other she motherd 14 kits by her self Edited March 6, 2011 by gundogbob Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 That's great 30 plus ferrets off one jill you found that's not even yours and two others that work how ??????? Quote Link to post
gundogbob 1 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 to be honest un less you have a real good reason to breed them then dont as albert said you could end up with 40 kits if you cant shift them you are going to have to have a big court to house them let alone the running costs ie food bedding ect honestly there is no need to breed them some one is bound to have a vacomised hod if you are that worried im not having a go just there is alot more to it than breeding to bring out of season Quote Link to post
The one 8,398 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Why dont you post asking to borrow a snipped hob in your area ,you dont need to breed them and if you dont have the cash to get them injected how you going to get the cash if something goes wrong when you breed them?. They might all live together and give birth quite happily them your going to feed forty plus feerets all summer ?. If one jill gets upset she could kill all the kits and then your jills will come back into season and your back to square one ?. A little bit of though when you got the ferrets would have prevented this Quote Link to post
rabbiting josh 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 ok i was thinking of breeding from 1 so i hada few kits is that possible? Quote Link to post
The one 8,398 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Aye anything possible with some preparation Quote Link to post

The one 8,398 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Phone round a few vets and ask for prices for the jill jab mate i honestly think that would be your best bet and give you breathing space to think what your going to do as this is going to happen every spring Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not being funny mate but if you put just a tiny bit of effort in to find a vac hob etc then you will save a lot of money. Even three lots of jill jabs would probably be cheaper than the cost of raising 30 + kits. And if anything goes wrong for any of the jills then the cost of the vets will eclipse the lads. There is also the thought that when entering into keeping any animas you have a responsibility to ensure you can sufficiently care for them. . . . . . Quote Link to post
