Hezbear Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 If you aren't planning on breeding then get 2 of the same sex, just handle them as often as possible and enjoy yourself ferreting with them , before you work them then get a collar and locator system so they don't stay to ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve0146 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Be aware the females do require mating at least onc, normally twice a year. Or get them spayed. Or the jill jab is an option. Females are smaller than males and can often get into smaller holes. My preference would be two small males. Or two females, just make sure you have access to a snipped male or have them spayed if you are not wanting young twice a year. I work mine a lot with my lurcher and long nets.

Ferretertom Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 http://www.britishferretclub.org.uk/ go on this site it tells you a bit about ferrets, Incase you dont know a male is known as a hob a female is known as a jill the jills are quite a bit harder to start of with compared to the males as when they go in season in the spring and again in the summer they have to be taken out of season as someone has stated, With hob ferrets you dont have this problem dont rush out and just buy some because you can put some thought in to it as the litter toilet corners of they hutch idealy will need cleaning out every day of course with dayly feeding eigher with raw meat or dryed ferret food whitch can be quite expencive then get a good size water bottle like what they use for rabbits for the water make sure its never blocked i use wood shaveings on the living are of the hutch then quite a bit of hay in the bed compartment it dont matter what colour they are its all down to personal preference.
