tsteve9999 456 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 That at least one of my jills is pregnant. I had my new hob done earlier in the year but one jill seems to be getting fatter by the day, and I've just heard her scratching about in the nest box as if shes making a nest. The other jill doesnt seem to be any fatter so maybe it's just a phantom pregnancy, but I've just held her up and she really does look up the duff. Anyone else had a vasecomy not work? And if so did the vets redo it free of charge or did you have to pay again? Quote Link to post
Sirblessed 2,511 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Sometimes they can have a phantom, I bought a Jill this year that was said to be in kit, she looked the part but she never had any. My Hob was done twice first one failed and I ended up with 4 Jills in kit. all good now second time round Quote Link to post

samuria 331 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 i had my hob done and it failed... ended up with 24 kits got back to the vet and they refused to re do the snip, they said that it can regrow sometimes. as the bit of tube they cut is the thickness of a pound coin. tried to get a refund etc but they were absolute arseholes about it. had to get one of his sons snipped this year as my new vet did not want to open up scar tissue on him Quote Link to post
The one 8,395 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 I had a vasectomy fail they did it for free again but its a harder operation due to the scar tissue when i moaned about feeding a litter of kits for 8 weeks they offered me a free postcard in the window , "Which we normally charge a £1 a week for " i said you having a laugh and left 1 Quote Link to post

liongeorge 7 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Mine tend to have phantom pregnancies after my vasectomised hob goes over them. Lots of nesting and dragging each other around. Quote Link to post

With the longer summers they can come in 4/5 times thats why i reckon a snipped hobs the way to go rather than repeated jabs of hormone 2 Quote Link to post
tsteve9999 456 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I'm almost certain she's pregnant, she's as fat as butter. The only thing stopping me being 100% is that the other one isn't showing at all. Looks like I'll be out on the pigeons more than planned.... 1 Quote Link to post
beany01 223 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I brought a snipped hob about 6 weeks ago, put him in with 3 jills on their first season and they all look rather fat and nesting. Hopefully its just phantoms, as the 3 jills I got with the hob all look fine. Ive got 8 jills, if the hob becomes fertile again, im in a lot of trouble!!! Quote Link to post
Fennster16 29 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Am in the same boat as you. My little Jill isnt but she had a massive tumour removed last week on her ovaries (we actually thought it was stomach cancer like her mum) my other looks like a little lightbulb, same behaviours hobs curled round the box she now wont let him in. The others vet is 99% sure she is We got him from a ferret rescue, didnt want kits, was vasectomised feb as their 6 now looks like we are having them Didnt have a problem with my last hob Quote Link to post
