You can also get that with hobs and jills if you dont watch them

never known it with hobs and jills in my coming upto 25 yrs of keeping ferrets,if you have had this then i would think you dont separate your hobs and jills quick enough after breeding, or don't pay them enough attention to see thet they dont get on and are fighting and should be separated.

 

 

This will be a first for you then Wullie,- I once saw a jill which had been scalped by a hob, that's no word of a lie. The jill had been in with the hob for less than a day and when they were first introduced to each other there was no hint of what was to follow. It was 3 days after the incident when I saw the jill [she belonged to a mate] and the word scalped described it to a T.

 

So it goes to show that although we might have had ferrets for 25, 30, or even 40 years and just because we say we have never heard of or seen certain things happen doesn't mean they haven't or can't. All we can do is give our opinions based on the knowledge gained from our experiences with ferrets we've kept over the years.

Well if a hob was so aggresive as to do that to a breeding jill then i would say not to use him again as it is unfair to harm the animal,it is not just a case of keeping ferret for 25 yrs i have seen all sorts of damaged ferrets with me running a rescue for the last 7 yrs and have had nearly 2000 come through the rescue in that time.

no it didnt go over my head as i said if i had a hob that did that i would never use it again to breed.and only used the amount of ferrets i have delt with as referance.

When i think about it ive been into ferrets for forty years and seen some things in that time id like to think we have moved on but with the same questions and problems creeping in each year i doubt it

The point I was trying to make was that although you said [in reply to "The Ones" post],- never known it with hobs and jills in my coming upto 25 yrs of keeping ferrets. There are always exceptions, and that's especially true with animals, I think you'll agree.
