Age for visectomisation?

[proper22 5]

I have a 10 week old pole cat hob called badger,

 

just wonduring what the minuminm age or recomended age is to get him done (visectomised not castrated) so that then he'll bring my jill out'a season.

 

also im gessing its about £55-£70?

 

im new to ferret keeping so need some help!

I was told to wait till six months .

 

castration they take the knackers away compleatly they can no longer take jils out of season or have kits and they smell less.

 

vasectomy they just cut the tubes and tie them up so everything is still there,they can take jills out of season with out them having kits

same as above mate, but take him next summer when his balls have dropped

Next season, Spring, as the days grow longer your hob will come into season, his testicles will expand to a fair old size for such a small animal, then just take him to the vet, job done

Same as above wait till his testes have dropped wich will be next spring now , its better to wait till they drop so the vet can see what there doing and not botch the operation

A ferret hob will usually start comig into season around December. I would get him done at around Christmas.

Normally get mine done in March after the ferreting season has finished, but as "the one" says as soon as his testes drop is a good time if you are not working him.

Does any one know if the hobs still work ok if they have had the full castration?

who's told you that like??

[Davidh 5]

That has been my experience, in the 25 years or so I have kept ferrets. It has always been at around this time that the testes have descended. I take it that you diagree Jenksi87?

[proper22 5]

Ok thanks for the help

I now plan to get him visectomised in the spring

Ferrets will still work fine after being castrated your only taking away there lust for sex not there ability to work
