chrismdd 787 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Your thoughts please: Up until last year I kept three jill ferrets and had the vets give them the jill jab. Round here the prices varying between different vets was incredible. At the top end they wanted nearly £90 to do all three (which included a small animal consultation and check-up - whatever that is?), this was my local vet and in the end I went further afield to a more agricultural vet who did all three for £45. I enquired with this vet about getting a hob and having him vesectomised. They said they should be able to do this for about £100. So last year I acquired two more jill ferrets and and a young polecat hob who is now a very big boy. So with five jills the sums add up to have the hob done. Checked with the vet but know the cost will be £180!!! So the choice is should I go for this? is is a fair price? or continue with the jill jab which should be about £52 to do all five jills. 1 Quote Link to post

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Worth it, but thats a horrendous price. Half that is more acceptable. 2 Quote Link to post

deanflute 550 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Castration is £40 here or £55 for the vasectomy. Phoned a few round here with some wanting up to £90 for a vasectomy so it does pay to shop around Quote Link to post
