stubby 175 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I personally think you'vre left it a little late in the year to start breeding ferts and to ask such a question gives reason to use the rest of this year to read up on breeding etc, ready for next year Quote Link to post

Coneytrappr 30 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 The first part in any working ferret breeding cycle is to select the very best working ferrets possible. Don't put a polecat hob over her simply because its a polecat...put him over her because he's a great worker. Colour comes after working ability. Quote Link to post
ferretertom 7 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I think should research before you even consider breeding Quote Link to post
The one 8,459 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 The first question you should be asking is my jill good enough to be bred from if no use another methord to bring her out of season .You will only be able to bred from the jill and hob when there in season (read up on the internet). And its not going to be worth it now as the kits will be late and no able to start working them this season Quote Link to post

sikastag_1 689 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 dont mean to be cheeky mate, but if your on here asking the question youve just asked like, whats a ferrets breeding procedure, then in reality you shouldnt be breeding ferrets, more to the matter why do you feel the need to breed the ferret youve got?
