stubby 175 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 it depends mate your first notice when hes ready when he has testies and starts pissing up him self getting him cut is up to you you may wont to breed him first WHY why with so many ferrets about, would you give advice for someone to breed from a hob, before getting him the snip, I could understand if it was a dog, Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 It will be next year before his testies drop and he sexually mature to line a jill ,and the vets like the testies to be down before they will operate and then your going to have to wait the requiredtill 8/12 weeks before you can use him your vet will advise ,mate Quote Link to post

dawnraider 2 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 was thinking of getting my hob vasectomised,how much roughly does it cost,and is there any risk involved in the procedure. Quote Link to post
hunter1 63 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 i payed 25quid last year Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I payed £60 last year ,and the risk's are the vet might not do it right and your jills end up preggers,you dont wait the required time your jills end up preggers .My mate got ahod done and it was the blood supply to the teste's the vet removed .And ive had and seen a few hobs end up with testicular cancer later in life all who where snipped Quote Link to post
