diggermad 154 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 hi mate he may get the urge but until they have dropped he is not ready to breed just make sure the jill is fully in season or he may hurt her DM Quote Link to post

scothunter 12,609 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 do you keep the lights on in your ferret shed? Quote Link to post
DogMagic 461 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 It would be good to remove the hob mate. If the jill is in season he will just keep raping her over and over for days. A male ferret is an agressive little sod when having his wicked way, he will grab hold of the back of her neck and drag her around and generally beat her about. When i breed i put the hob in with the jill in the morning and take him out that evening. You can always tell if they have done it by the state of the neck. There will be a certain amount of blood and it will be damp from his saliva. Also there will be bruising which you wont be able to see due to the jills fur. A mated jills fanny goes back to normal size and she stops giving off the "f**k me" pheramones after 4 or 5 days, sometimes a week. Imagine the damage and pain the hob will of done in this time to her neck. Quote Link to post
theferreter 311 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 as said mate take the hob out he will just give the jill a hard time dragging her about hobs usally come into season before the jills so you may hope he hasent already got to her Quote Link to post
proper22 5 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Best split them off mate , about a week or so ago i split mine off as the young Hob decided to go into season early and make the jills life hell Quote Link to post
The one 8,467 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I dont know last year i found my jills where snapping at my hobs face if they werent ready to entertain him ,he certainly wasn't raping them as often as he thought he might Quote Link to post
lampshy 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 just move the little fella they will av false pregnancys anyway as they aint ready in season or not trust me pal........ Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,426 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Not all hobs are aggressive rapists, this little hob i've got here is one smooth operator Quote Link to post
pukerk 161 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just seperate them... you never know he might get the urge and drag her around everywhere, which could cause her to stress out! Quote Link to post
ade33uk 86 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Separate them any way , when you do breed them its easier to work out when the kits are due , a rough guide for you is 35 days after breeding clean cage spotless and give the jill fresh bedding , 42 days after breeding kits should arrive ,.
