foxtails 272 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 hi guys iv got 2 albino jills both about 2yr old the one of them is normal jill size quite small ,(the normal size) but the other jill is the same length but could be mistaken for a hob, its that big. iv never had a jill this size, has anyone come across this before? i feed them the same they both eat the same as each other (theres no bullying for food ect) so cant work it out. i feed them on alpha ferret feast biscuits and game now and again. any views will be welcome. thanks fts Quote Link to post

pie-eater 377 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Ive got a couple of this years kits that seem huge to me. Theyre way bigger than the jill they were bred from. Quote Link to post
The one 8,577 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 As said are they out the same litter often if its a big litter theres a runt ?. maybe you picked the runt and the other one just looks large ? Quote Link to post
foxtails 272 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 iv kept ferrets on and off for years iv had quite a few jills but none this big ? Quote Link to post
Ratsmasher 36 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 more out of interest then anything else but how do the compare when working? Quote Link to post
The one 8,577 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 A good sized jill shouldn't take any crap from a rabbit so i wouldn't worry about it Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I prefer a jill with some size to it, like the one says, they dont take any crap. get it worked and if its a cracker get it bred from next year! Quote Link to post
The one 8,577 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 i remember my bew jill she was a good size and i remember digging her out a big sandy burrow and she was locked on to the rabbit mid tube and she had stuck her legs out to the sides of the tube and that rabbit couldn't move it was going nowhere , where as my son has a smaller ferret and it seems like when you remove the top spit the rabbit moves and drags the ferret with it Quote Link to post
fieldsportsman 107 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 i have a large jll, has no problems bolting, and im sure she could stand her ground if she came up against a rat etc Quote Link to post
