ive got to introduce a 2 year old cut hob in to the court in the next couple of days , theres only 2 jills in there , ones about 19 months old , but the polcat jill whos about the same age as the hob is a right bitch about new comers , he really needs to go in there as the new courts not ready yet , but im not looking forward to it . but heres a tip that might work if you have some sort of small cage you can put the offender in there but still in the court (if you have room that is) leave him in there for a couple of days so he can watch the rest play but he cant get involved , then let him

ditch the bottles mate , get a heavy bowl (other wise you'll be in the same situation) ferrets are natural lappers and fair better from a bowl than a bottle.

thank you you'll probably find me nosing around the ferret forums mostly ,but chances are i@ll stray over to the fishing section too

its normally the adult jills your going to have a problem with when introducing new members to the business but because its her kits it should be fine as for your hob ,i think your right and he's just showing whos boss , ferrets play hard and can look nasty , so the only thing i can offer you is , to keep an eye out for blood , give it a few days and everything should settle down

hi i new here but your post caught my eye ,as the above poster said it could be an adrenal gland problem, ive a 19month old jill and she lost the hair at the base of her tail this year and my vet thinks it could because she had to have 2 jill jabs this summer . but it also could be as simple as moulting , most ferrets should be getting ready for their winter coats now ,if this is the case you should see it coming back in the next few weeks hope this helps
