Put hob and jills together last week no problems

Sound, thanks folks.

 

His balls have shrunk a bit. They were massive a few weeks ago.

 

None of the Jills have been in season as they are all this years young, all fully grown now though. I might try him with the biggest Jill and then add the others one at a time.

 

Cheers

iv got 3 of this years jill that iv had for a month now and iv just got an adult hob. im fairly new to keeping ferrets and i just tried putting the new hob with them. i tried them in the house together to see how they get along and all seemed fine, but when i put him in there hutch he had latched on to one of the jills face, so now there separated. what is it to do with the size of his nuts? will i be able to keep them together at some point or will he continuously attack them.

tried mine together a few days ago and my jill beat the shit of the hob biting him on the back of the neck and following him about everywhere, poor fella was well upset with her

he won't have been attacking them pal, ferrets are pretty rough with each other. He'll have just been dragging her about a bit. If you're new to ferrets a lot of the dragging and play fighting will look like real fighting.

 

When in season the hob will grab hold of the jill by the neck/head/face and pretty much throw her about, if yours still has his balls swollen then that's probably what he was doing. But if he wasn't doing it in the house he probably isn't in season I wouldn't have thought. Just stick them in together, keep an eye on then for 10 minutes or so and you'll probably find it all calms down.

All went well anyway.

 

Put him in last night and put a rabbit in there for them all to concentrate on and all was well.

 

A bit of sniffing and play fighting but it went alot better than I had thought it would

I would still be scared putting the hobs back in with the jills that they would rape them and hurt them even if the jills aren't in season the hobs are

If the hobs balls have shrunk then he's not in season is he?

 

He hasn't tried to rape any of them so I assume he is out of season?
