Abt manc It's an entirely individual thing in my experience. Most castrated ferts will accept company but there are some who just won't tolerate a new pal. I've tried 18 different ferrets in with my castrated albino hob, but he just battered every one. When they are a solitary ferret though, i think they need a lot more handling and stimulation to keep them content. Quote Link to post
The one 8,463 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 As above its your choice but your going to have to wait till the stitches come out them wait till his hormones calm down . But if you go for a jill hes no use to bring her out of season ,so you may be better looking at hobs ???? Quote Link to post
ferrety f 23 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Most of mine only took a few weeks for the hormones to subside, you can get either sex to go in with him but if another hob yes he will need his nuts off.. if you can take him when you go for another fert and let him choose who he likes, it saves on fighting during introductions Quote Link to post
thorne43 1 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 mine was sweet straight away with others. best is to try him with another and see how the get on. make sure you have some thick gloves on just incase they dont get on. lol. best of luck Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,784 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Either or mate, I tend to get my ferts from rescue centres (already de-sexed) and they generally all get on well. Ferts are social animals and are better with a buddy. HTH. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 at the end of the day, all ferts are different, so only you can tell, Ive got 4 hobletts, living in the court with 4 jills, all get on great, and although it goes against what everyone says, one of them, even though he has no nutts, still grabs jills that are in season and does the buisness, and gets them out of season Quote Link to post
