pigeonphill 69 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 two hobs are all right most of the year but come the breeding season one can end up a bit chewed up around the neck by the stronger hob, which can turn nasty in warm weather [the neck not the ferret] hope this helps Quote Link to post

The one 8,397 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 If your adult hobs in season he will probably kill them ,but later on he might live happily with them but do you want to risk it ? I reckon they could live quite happily together but the top one may bum the weaker one Quote Link to post

ilovetoshoot12345 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 will it be safer to get all 3 neutered? Quote Link to post

Meerihunter 7 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 My 3 hobs are in together with no trouble, they are father and 2 sons. My other hob could not be kept with them though as the father to the other 2 would of killed him when in season. I think it comes down to luck to some degree, once they fight seriously there seems to be no going back. Quote Link to post
