tommcglough14 0 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 can anyone give me some advice on the behaviour of hobs. i have a hob and two jills that live together in a hutch. they used to get on good but recently the hob has been attacking one of the jills, biting her neck as though he was trying to mate her. this would seem usual as the two jills are spayed but the hob isnt? :S any advice guys?

stubby 175 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 just because the jills are spayed, doesent stop the hob from doing what comes naturally, get him out into another cage, or he'll end up ragging them to death Quote Link to post
