nivek65 4 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 my hob ferret is not eating his grub, i give him dried food and has been eating fine, i have got 2 jill kits in another cage and he has seen them and been in with them, when he sees them he starts to make the ferret noise and get all lively, do you think this is the reason he is off his food, he was ok before hand, a bowl can last him 3 days or more, any help would be great cheers Quote Link to post
ferrety f 23 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) How long ago was he in with them and did he try to mount / scruff them ? If he is entire ( still got his nuts ) he may be getting horny or if neutered may just be a case of he is pleased to have some ferret company, either could make him eat less as he wants to be back with them Edited July 21, 2011 by ferrety f Quote Link to post

nivek65 4 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 i only put him in with the kits to see how he would react to them , they are only 3 months old, he started to drag them into the sleeping room by the neck so i moved him back into his on cage, he is eating very small amounts but not much, dont want the poor bloke to starve, i suppose when he is hungry enough he will eat.

The one 8,598 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 He will eat when hes hungry but every time he see's or hears the jills he will want to breed with them .remove him out of sight and earshot ,and if its hot he wont eat so much Quote Link to post
