Joe67 239 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 since i got the hobs ive seen them wresteling a few times,normaly its the bigest(wiser) out the 2 that looks to be winning,from what ive read i thought this is normal so never really bothered about it,never heard any squeeling so didnt think any pain was caused.i had the smaller hob(bud) out today and noticed a couple places behind the left ear/neck were marked,looked like alittle scab and alittle hair missing or clumped together. is this normal for two hobs and nothing to worry about or should they be moved into different hutchs.

theferreter 311 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 the bigger hob will keep draging the smaller one around and it could get a bit rough and cut the smaller ones neck and a scab will develope some of these can get nasty and badly infected mate so seperate them till the breeding season is over Quote Link to post

russellpt6 5 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have 4 hobs and the have to be split during breeding or you end up with some nasty wounds. When the season is over they all go back together and are fine. Quote Link to post
joe14 98 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I would split them up, all mine are castrated so live happily together all year round. Quote Link to post

ferrety f 23 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 thanks,if i get them neutered will they be ok to go straight back into hutchs on there own?ive seen some members keep them in doors for abit after being neutered with hobs they recover quickly from the op, only have to keep them indoors if its cold as the anesthetic takes a good few hours to wear off. Make sure they are up and about, eating, drinking piddling ect and they are fine to go back to their cages Quote Link to post
