CraignTod 278 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Just a quick question, i have two hobs a recently they started to smell worst than usual so i figured they were in season? Anyway ive also noticed that they fight worst than usual like draggin each other around squeeling sounds like 2 cats fighting. Is this ok or should i split them until the breeding season stops? P.s. Thought only jills came in season and there is no jills that i know of near me Edited January 25, 2015 by CraignTod Quote Link to post
Blackdog92 2,047 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I would separate them for now better safe than sorry. Quote Link to post
Hywel 53 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I keep mine separated when it comes around to the breeding season. Quote Link to post

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 If your smelling a real musky smell, chances are the weaker hob will be "skunking" in defense or fear from a gland in his A hole. I havent found in season hobs any more smellier, unless your holding them, then you can tell. Its a bit early to be coming into season, but once its started, its started. The only real options now are splitting them up or castrating both. Castration costs around half what a vasectomy does and is a more straight forward procedure. Might get it a bit cheaper if you get them done as a pair too. 2 Quote Link to post

Or when it's afraid lol very afraid ; ) You never had a ferret come across something it didnt fancy its chances with or fought and lost against something below ground, when their tails bottle brush up, have a sniff, usually cos their afraid.. Or in defense, followed by a sharp exit.. If you can notice your hob is in season by the smell of the hutch, I think you need to clean them out more. 2 Quote Link to post
