oneshotkiller Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 The ferrets have settled in nicely , new hutch is on order 3 storeys this time instead of two , hob is a docile ****** and the jill was a bit nippy to start with but with plenty of handling and patience she is coming along nicely . However today she is acting out of sorts like she is spooked , she normally is first to the door in the morning to check the if i have brought a tidbit for them but this morning she was very reluctant to come into the run , also she didn't want me to pick her up at all . The hobs fine as per normal , I've checked to make sure the runs secure and the hutch is comfortable for them , I haven't changed their food from what they usually have and they are both in a draught free shady spot and i change the water twice daily , i have checked her over and their is no injury's to her or obvious signs of illness also she is not in season ? any ideas lads i'm stumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretertom Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Sound like when there about to drop kits or just one of those days . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_in_the_midlands Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Has the hob been vasectomized? If so then maybe she having a phantom pregnancy? If so - watch your fingers for a couple of weeks and do not be surprised if she gets very protective over the hob. If the hob has not been done, maybe she is knocked up for real?

Scully Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 If she's not pregnant(no bald or sore patch between her shoulder blades?)then possibly it's just her new environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneshotkiller Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Hobs not been done and she's been jabbed recently , is their a chance the jab might not have worked ? Just checked her no sore patch and haven't seen one over the past week also no sign of enlarged vulva or anything ?

Ferretertom Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 If you put her back straight after the jab then she'd still be in heat for about a week after until it worked so anything could of happened! or if she were with the hob before the injection...well it takes 42 days gestation.

Beretta28g Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Sounds like you may be getting quite a few little ferret kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneshotkiller Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for the advice lads , if she is in kit then i'm not too worried as have plenty of room and was planning on adding a few more ferrets to the team , however i think hob will be going for the snip soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneshotkiller Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Sorry bit late on replying to this , no she is not in kit ( is that what you call it ) she was a bit off for a couple of days and then she went completly the other way , very affectionate and back to normal . Had her out today and worked a small warren and was very pleased with 5 bolts and 3 netted !! No layups and i was the only weak link in the team due to my poor netting :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
