Traztaz Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Put her in , it will cause no problems.You are hoping to breed from her? Mate be prepared , she WILL breed, lots and lots!!My advice is choose your favorite worker from the hobs and have the other castrated, and once you have bred castrate the other too.Ferrets can breed like rabbits............................I had 26 at one point!!

Cranfield Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think everyone has their own ideas where ferrets are concerned. As I prefer to work jills, I usually only have one, or two hobs and I always keep my jills and hobs separate. A very young jill in with two larger hobs could get bullied badly. When she comes into season, she should only be left with one hob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I wouldnt put a jill kit with 2 hobs. The hobs will bascially try and mate with the jill constantly, it will end up dieing. Why dont you go for two jills?? so the two kits can live together and play together, then when they are older and you want to breed, u can. Thats what i would do.

bob300w Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Can't speak for the ferrets, but personally, I'm all for it! What ferret boy says makes sense. Edited March 14, 2008 by bob300w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 cant beleave some of the answers here 2 one year old hobs, will as stated bully and probably end up killing a young jill kitt, when they want to breed, they wont give a **** how old it is, or if its in season or not, keep the jill seperate, but as stated get two, also have one hob VASECTAMISED not castrated, a snipped hob you can use to get jill's out of season if you dont want to breed a particular jill, a castrated hob WONT I have 2 snipped, 1 catrated living in the court, along with four FULLY GROWN jills, the jills that I want to breed are taken out as they come into season, and put with my entire male in the breeding pens, those not wanted for breeding, get left in the court, to be taken out of season by the snipped hobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
