hi, just want a bit of advice on something. I have 3 ferrets 2 hobs 1 jill and they have all been done, all i want to know is would an entire hob be ok in the same court as them?

cheers Dean

He may well be ok when he is out of season providing your existing ferrets accept a new ferret, but even if they do i would remove him next year when he comes back into season , or get him castrated

Thanks Kay. Do you think a jill would be better suited? and have her speyed next year then i would have 2 hobs 2 jills. im pretty sure they would accept the new one but i am taking the other 3 along to see how they get on first before i buy.

From past experience i had problems getting existing jills to accept new ferrets regardless of there sex, all you can do is take yours along & if there on neuteral territory they may just be ok , but i may be over cautious and if ferrets are still scrapping an hour or say after intros i dont push it, its stressfull for all concerned

Yes i will be very cautious with them and she accepted the other hob just fine but you never know do you! she is only tiny and as soft as a brush so i'l just see how they get on

You put a complete hob in with what you already have i reckon he will be dominant and hump them all
