George Kinloch 16 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Brought the new Jill back today and she was fine at first the both the Hobs started pulling her around by the scruff of the neck. She didn't look in pain but a bit uncomfortable. Is this normal and what do I do the stop it? I have put them in deprecate hutches tonight when do I put them all together? Cheers Quote Link to post

George Kinloch 16 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 If it was the Jill's pushing her around I would be more ok with it. But because its the Hobs which are big boys I just don't want them to hurt her when I'm not looking. Quote Link to post
The one 8,597 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ive still got my hobs separated as they are in season ,i wouldn't leave her in with them just yet Quote Link to post
George Kinloch 16 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 My Hobs are only 5 3/4 months and I dnt think they are in season as their testicals haven't descended yet. Do u reckon they will get better the more I socialise them? Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I recently introduced a new jill, I already had 2 hobs from last season and 3 jills from this season. The new jill is at least 4 years old. When I first put them in she was attacked by both hobs but after a day they had calmed down. I think its just a case of sorting out a pecking order.
