max abell 196 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 My hob looses weight during the summer for some reason but soon beefs back up again come the autum although he goes a bit leaner in the summer he is still well active and fit so i dont tend to worry to much about it Im sure he is fine hes just in mateing condition which does seem a bit scank compared to the winter condition If you are in any doubt whip him down the vets for a quick check up HOPE HES OK MATE Quote Link to post

clabstar 2 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 the ferret is a randy sod then get him some porn and a blow up ferret lol Quote Link to post
Danny123 1 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dont know about the porn and a blow up ferret...but my hobs (also entire) loose weight and generally dont look their best at this time of year. With jills on their minds and them moulting their coats - give them a couple of months and he / they will be back to his usual self. Quote Link to post
EskdaleHawks 8 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 hi allmy hob has gone from being built like a cat to looking like a large gill he is eating ang drinking fine is as bright as ussual just wondering why he has gone so ragged looking eny ideas Ever thought that he may have a worm burden and is in need of a good worming? I worm all my ferrets at this time of year as a matter of course. I use Panacur 10% at the rate of 1/2 of a ml. for Hobs and 1/4 of a ml. for the Jills. I am suprised that nobody has picked up on it?

clabstar 2 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 just out of interest are males up for it all the time or just when jills are in season and how many times a year do jills come into season? Quote Link to post

Hobs are usually fertile for most of the year and come into breeding condition earlier than the Jills. Once a Jill comes into 'Heat' then she will stay that way for several months unless mated. ATB.

noddy6560 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Tha vulva in a in-season jill swells up like a do-ring,you can also get them jill jabbed if you don't want to breed or neutered if you don't want to breed Quote Link to post
