is it safe

[s horsfield 7]

hi you lot .i've had a hob now for 2yrs . i'm thinking of getting 2 jill from a mate of mine from this yrs litter .Would it be ok to put them all together,or has the hob got to be on his own. I've heard of hob's and jill's being kept together,but is that when they are of a simler age. thanks

If I were you I'd keep the young jills apart until the breeding season is over, or you may find your new jills will become sex slaves to your hob Its your call mate!

i would definetly keep them seperate mate i keep all my hobs seperate at this time of year ofr obvious reasons but i would put young jills in with hobs.

yep keep him on his own untill he is out of season

cheers thanks for your input.Once the jills are older and if i decidered to get the hob the snip would they be ok then

I would still keep my hob seprate next year after he's serviced my jills, purely to stop my hob ragging my jills for no reason, that's the way my hob is, your's may be different, and you may be able to leave your hob in, its a bit of a suck and see really.

Sound advice keeping them seperate till the breeding season's past but i would keep them seperate till the jills where big enough to handle themselves

cheers lads. the reason i asked this question is that i've spoke to some people and they keep both sexs together no problem, or so they say

Perhaps the ferrets in your part of the country are more refined and discrete than ferrets elsewhere? Of course it's not a problem, so long as you and your daft mates don't mind having to dispose of the odd dozen or so unwanted kits from time to time.

have they been castrated?, as castrated hob's (hoblets) can be left all year round with the jills, I have one hoblet with six jills in the court, another court has three hoblets, and one jill, all get on fine,

 

but my vasectamised (snipped) hob, still needs to be kept seperate, as do all the intact hobs (all in individual cages)

You keep all the hobs on their lonesome stubby? Is there a specific reason for it because I have intact hobs all together all year round without any trouble.

ditto i use to have a really big hob(1.6 kilos) who lived with my other hob (1.2 kilos) both intact without a single incident even in the breeding season right up until owd steve mcween(great escapist) ripped a hole in two fence panels and did a born free not seen him since i'm gutted so is ike turner (he beats on the jills a lot) the other hob who lived with him. but it can be done and for the record they were not litter mates
