help on breeding

[Coneytrappr 30]

thanks alot everyone for your help, i will seperate them asap i only work the gill as she is so small she never kills in , i got the hob just for company for her . if its best to keep them seperated i might get rid of the hob as i got no use for him hes like a baby my little girl comes up the stabble now an again she cuddles him like a babey hes bomb proof, could i buy a little gill an put her in with mine straight away as my hutch is huge and wouldnt whant my gill to be on her own,

also is it true that a gill has to be mated every year or it can die cause the trooth is i have no reason to breed her i dont want to keep a kit an really it will just be hassel for me to breed her

 

Hi mate, you could get both of them neutered by the vet and you wouldn't have to worry about your wee jill being in heat or have to get rid of your hob.

 

You don't have to breed your jill, only take her out of heat as a prolonged season can cause a particular type of blood deficiency if left for too long. You can breed her to a whole hob [kits], breed to a vasectomised hob [false pregnancy], get a jill jab [hormone injection], the Suprelorin Implant [will sterilise for two years] or just neuter[sterilise forever]- which is the easiest option. It would allow your little girl to keep her ferret without the risk of funny kits.

well from what i can gather my best bet is to have my hob castrated then i can keep them as they are an my girl wont no any diffrent, an if i was to get rid of my hob i might not get another ferret i can trust around kids as the one i got is perfect an quite a charecter is only bad point is he can eat more than a small terrier if you let him lol.

does anyone now how mucch it costs to have a hob castrated an can you take it to any vet for it to be done

Ive had my hob castrated and get my Jills jabbed works fine,that seems to be the safest option for you buddy thats what i have done anyway with no problems at all and as you say your little one can keep her fert.

Why not just get him vasectomised? as if he is neutered you will still have to deal with your jill every time she comes into season, atleast if he was vasectomised then he will do this job for you, the ave cost of getting a hob Neuterd varies from £45 to £60 and getting a vasectomey is about the same i just paid £61.30 each when i just got two done back in feb, jills to be neutered will cost anything from £55 to £75 just have to phone round the vets mate.
