Ossie 11 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 yup, my dads boys tear the skin off the backs of each others' necks. if you don't mind that, keep em together. otherwise, best to separate them. Quote Link to post

Greenrodders 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I asked a keeper-friend this question a while back. He keeps three hobs together with no fighting. He also has four jills in another cub in the same shed. He does say the hobs get a bit too intimate for his liking, :friends: but hey-ho, this is the age of tolerance. I guess the answer might be that it depends on the hobs involved and their characters (or preferences) Rodders Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,548 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 They will either bum each other of fight like feck, if they get on don't take one out to mate a jill and throw him back in with the other because it will be a feckin weird ferret that doesn't kick off then. Had it before with brothers that were fine and then were mortal enemies. Gnipper Quote Link to post
