Bobtheferret 1,224 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I have had the last two I had snipped around now (6 months old) so they were all healed and ready for “action” come spring, both hobs (one is now dead of old age other still doing the job) have taken 6-10 jills a summer out of season no problem and I never had a jill pregnant via one of them. If your not sure just ring the vet you plan on getting to do the procedure and ask them. Quote Link to post
The one 8,396 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Aye the vet will want to operate when his nuts are down makes it easier on them , them you got to wait till the recommended time is up to try him on one jill wait another 6 six weeks to see if its worked and all the time your jills are still in season and loosing a bit of condition bloody ferrets who would have them Quote Link to post

But I'd change that chicken wire for a stronger gauge, they will bite their way through that. 1 Quote Link to post

It was an old Scottish eccentric vet and the guy said the testing afterwards was more than the operation 'In 40years I've never had one come back as failed but you can pay it if you want'. I'm guna get one done this time. Quote Link to post
Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 The chicken wires been on for 3 years now, never seen them try to chew it. I was thinking of changing it last year to the half inch square mesh... but funds let me down. FF Quote Link to post
