Vasectomised hob not bothering with Jill’s

[Ethan gunn 1]

Hi just a quick one I had my hob vasectomised at the start of the year and after he had recovered he brought all my Jill’s out of season perfectly fine, he lived with them ever since they came out of season and they haven’t had any problems, however I have 4 Jill’s in season now in with him and he won’t even give them a sniff I was just wondering if anyone has seen this before, he only has one ball so it’s definitely not a castration, any ideas? Cheers

Have his nuts gone back inside?

With six v hobs over the years I've not seen this although they've never had more than three Jill's to serve. I have seen older Jill's be more difficult to mate. Also have heard from Essex ferret rescue that v hobs can become reluctant to mate if presented with too many bills in a short space of time.

Unfortunately I don't have a great answer for you, only if you haven't tried the mating one to one in a separate cage that's worked for me with an old Jill who wouldn't easily mate. 

Last thing, interesting yours came back into season. All my Jill's also came back in this year

I’ve just had a similar problem, one v hob done this spring. Put in with two jills and he brought them out of season then a couple of months later I noticed the Jill’s dragging each other about and one of them was back in season, hob not interested. Kept an eye for a few days and no sign of her swelling going down.
 

I took him out for a week and put him back in, initially I didn’t think he was interested in her but he must’ve mated her as she’s now out of season

I have no plans of having ferrets I bet it was a bloody nightmare wondering what was wrong with them I think I would be at my wits end with them
