my does coming into season

[stevoman 4]

well lads. my 2 does will be coming into season in the next few months and its time i started to worry. i dont want to breed them this year and i dont know anybody around here in ireland that has a vesectimated ferret to "service" them. im aware if they dont breed they can get sick and its not too good for them. any suggestion from you guys would be great.

 

ps - merry christmas!

well if you dont want to breed ever again get them speyed but if you do want to breed in the future then get them jabbed at the vets

thanks kay thats what i'l do. i want to breed next year, my girlfriend has a baby of her own on the way in spring so i think that will be my hands full!!!! but i do want to breed them the year after so thats what i will do. thanks a million for the advice

or just keep them both/hutch scrupleously (cant spell) clean,

 

its just the fact that when in season, their arse end is so close to the floor, its an entry point for disease, if kept in laboratory type condition, should be no problem, its when they are in season, in a dirty hutch, that they can get ill/die

Should have thought about this a bit more before getting ferrets!!!!. Sounds like you need to get your own hob and get him "vesectimated". Problem solved. Or take your jills to a rescue they usually have proven hobs that can take your girls out of season. Or call you local vet for contacts with ferrets who maybe able to help. or get jill jabs but not sure about them myself.

 

Regards Roger.
