stubby 175 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 sounds typical then for this time of year, as advised, although I have two brothers that are around 2yrs old that live together all year round, both intact and get on fine, its down to each ferret Quote Link to post
The one 8,479 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Sound like the albino is dominant and trying to breed with the poley Quote Link to post

josh-waddingham 13 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 i cant really advise you tbh mate as i dont tend to work many hobs as there too big i prefer my little albino jills but i do have a hob polecoat hes a small hob though so hes an acception. the big old hobs drive me nuts as the get mixed up in the nets where as my jills slip straight through them but i dont use nets tbh anyway lol as my harris hawk works the bunnies Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 the big old hobs drive me nuts as the get mixed up in the nets where as my jills slip straight through them but i dont use nets that makes a lot of sense Quote Link to post
joe14 98 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah some hobs during the mating season will fight. You can get them castrated so they can live together all year, although when they come out of season in the winter they will live together happily. So I would seperate them til winter.
