ferret100 47 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Whether you have jills or not, the young hob wants to fight to be the alpha male in the breeding season. Hormone thing. Keep the lads separated! Quote Link to post

The one 8,511 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Keep them separated till after there testes retreat back into there bodies then try them together they should be fine . Quote Link to post

Davidh 5 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 The best permanent solution is to get oneor both castrated, as a castrated hob will not have the hormonal changes in sring and so will happily live with other ferrets all year round. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post
