ferret100 47 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 thank you very much for posting this. i have my hob booked in to have the snip. I wouldnt bother. I only kept a hob to take my jills out of season as I only work jills. I ended up with a hob I didnt want a load of young I didnt want! I culled the hobs at a day old (which I didnt want to do!) as If I get stuck with the young jills I can live with that. I didnt want to cull the kits and as it made sense to do snip a hob to cover all my jills I did so instead of jabing my jills individually to save money and time in the long run. I tried to be responsable and look what happened ! If you were being responsible you would have sold/homed the hobs to people who did want them. You chose to use an unproven hob with your jills and killed day old kits before giving them a chance. Now that is poor. Quote Link to post

I tried to be responsable and look what happened ! Not sure if mummy ever explained this to you. If a Hob and a Jill gets together in season, you will end up with kits, it's called mating and if you didn't want kits, then you should have forked out for a jill jab, saving money isn't the point. If you are poor, don't keep so many jills. What a joke. Quote Link to post
moocherboi 8 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 i had a snipped hob before and he was worth his weight in gold when you got loads of jills to cover and bring out of season. no trouble to keep and i dont mind working a hob either. but thank you for your response Quote Link to post

I had the hob snipped. the diffrence between my "working animals" and your forever "pets xx" is I keep the best and the rest have no place in my kennels. If you eat eggs 1,0000s of day old cockeral chicks are culled every day in the poultry trade. If I want to cull unwanted stock I will, thats why your pens will always be filled with rubbish and ill always have lurchers and ferrtes that are breed for and can carry out there job. by the way if you shoot fox with a riffle like the pic is in your aviator your no sports man in my book! Im going out now to train an up and coming lurcher for next season you stay on your computer. Quote Link to post

Im going out now to train an up and coming lurcher for next season I've never really seen a bad ferret but have seen many bad owners. However I will give you the benefit of the doubt, if you could explain one thing. How do you select "the best" from day old kits? Personally, if I were you I'd get a job, never mind "training you're lurcher" that way you could afford to look after you're ferrets and get them a nice hutch instead of a kennel.

ferrety f 23 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I paid £70 in febuary this year. every single jill "Jaffa" covered is either in kit or had young already! ! ! Must be very common I always here about this on here too! ! I would not recomend going down this road too anyone, because by the time you know the vets ballsed it up its too late. Vets giving me a full refund and offered to do the snip on another hob for free ! ! which I said no thanks too!! very poor. Vasectomies aren't guarenteed. This is why the term 'proven vasectomised hob' exists. Plus if the hob is used too soon after the op, there is a high chance he will impregnate the jills! If the hob was operated on in Feb and you used him soon after, then yes, you would get pregnant jills! Either the vets didn't explain the post-op outcomes to you or you didn't listen. If I was in the same situation as you, being given a full refund for a vasectomised hob and the offer of a free vasectomy on another hob, I wouldn't complain. I'd just use enough common sense to not use a recently vasectomised hob on jills!!!! you sound quite a clever dick! I followed the vets advice and kept the hob and jills a part. the vet can do the maths he worked out the dates from when the op was done to when the kits arrived thats why he gave me the refund ! ! divvy if you cant guarenty a snip on a ferret why can you guarenty one on a humane. if thats the case no one should go down this road. How long did the vets say to keep them seperate after he was snipped ? Quote Link to post
