johnrthrfrd 223 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 do you mean because they are young hobbs or there nuts dropping cause they are comeing into season if the latter no. Quote Link to post
joe14 98 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If they are living together and you dont want them to bring any jills out of season then you they will need castration. Castration is removal of their nuts, which means they dont have the urge to have a go at each other or any jills. If you want them to bring jills out of season then you need to have them vasectomised. Mine have been castrated at about the 9 month mark when they've fully matured. Some vets will castrate if their nuts aint there, some vets wont. Sometimes when put under anesthetic the body relax's and the nuts appear lol. Quote Link to post
