Andy17 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 hi all, I had taken my 2 jills (both from the same litter) to the vets a couple of months back to get the jill jab. All went well and they came out of season. Recently they have begun fighting alot with one of the jills defending the bed area. Any ideas as to why they are doing this all of a sudden?, could it be that one is having a false pregnancy?. thanks for any replys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Nothing to worry about, mine do it all the time after they have been with the vasectomised hob. They basically think they have had a litter so are protective, they also probably think that one another is their kits. It will calm down later on in the year, they will do alot of squealing and marks will begin to appear on there back of there necks. Again nothing to worry about.

Andy17 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 hi ferretboy thanks for the reply. I let the hob and both jills have a run about each day together and it just seems to be the one jill, even the hob is scared of her lol. Thanks again.

Madcowz Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Would having a separate nest area help in this situation? Only ask as I am still building my court and now is the time to build this type of thing. /Mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy17 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Madcowz, I have added an extra sleeping box to the shed and it has made it a little better but the jill I'm having problems with just makes that extra effort to go and grab the other jill and pull her into the box lol, even the hob got dragged in there dispite being twice her size and weight . yis andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
