Hobs Fighting

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.

Hobs have a much stronger smell when in season.

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.

 

yes Ive smelt scared ferret before usualy when introducing a new ferret. My hutches are kept clean (probably alot cleaner than most on here) I never said my hutch smelt lol, its the ferret itself that smells a lot stronger when in season.
