6 potential litters! Jesus. Good luck feeding them.

 

I has 2 litters last year and they got through 2 chest freezers of food before they went at 6 weeks.

im not into breeding only if mates want them as there are to many about every year ill feed them no problems just well fed up as the hob is not what it says on the tin lol

Had a 1 done a couple of years back took umpteen gills out of season no bother then next season put him in with my 2gills to take them out resulted in 2 litters asked vet and she said his tubules must have reattached so done the 1 av got now cheap touch wood no probs with him.

worst thing is my mate used him as well and hes had 2 litters and another 3 jills might be in kit as well lol

same thing has happened to a mate of mine plus he borrowed the Vas hob to his mates also... so lots of unplanned litters in the near future.

 

I'm on the lookout for some new stock this summer...But only thing is i would be looking for kits from litters that were mated intentionally with regards to working strains and prey drive etc etc. . . not from Jills that were not intended to be bred from, for one reason or another etc etc.

4 of my jills are great workers 1 is from johnnyboys lines and the hob is a good worker as well vin if you want any let me know

Fooking he'll mate you better start building new hutches or runs, you'll need em lol I was planning on 2 litters to try and further a line but in end I said fook it and bred 1, 2 litters at time is hard if done properly wouldn't like to be in your shoes, if I'm honest I'd cull hard, atb with them tho

you never know what might happen yet could have still born or they could get eat by moms who knows and I want to keep a jill or 2 out of 2 of my old girls as they are getting old now and they have been great workers they have gone off the locater at 16foot work every inch of the burys
