Joe67 239 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 id like to put all my ferrets intogether 24/7,i picked up a 13 week hob(fooking biter needs sorted lol) last night so thats 3 jills and 1 hob intogether,today i decided to put my other hob(thats in season) in with the other 4 that arent in season.hes had a good wrestle with the others but they seem to give as good as they get thats including the 2 kits and it looks like hes playing with them.i know normaly its better to keep the hob in season away but since he would be in with another 4 do yous reckon it should be ok,or still to risky? i do plan to get the oldest hob nuetered and the youngest vaced but am looking for opinions if its possible to keep them together now..

f mac 40 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 anythings possible but always best to have seperate hutches just in case Quote Link to post
Joe67 239 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 alright mate thanks,spare hutchs aint a problem.they have all been in together for a couple hours now.spose ill just need to keep watching them and take it from there Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Risky ? I wouldn't mate if he takes a perticular shine to a ferret it will become his bitch literally , Quote Link to post
Joe67 239 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 that would be the same for all the ferret veterans on here that keep one vaced hob in with 4 + jills all year round,i know the benifits of having a vaced hob but if it wasnt safe why would they keep them together. edit:maybe i misunderstood your post,if so i mean risky because at times some can get badly injured i.e 1 hob and 1 jill together..i was asking if member think it would be to risky keeping them together,all seems to be ok the now but last thing i want is a injured or dead ferret Quote Link to post
The one 8,494 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Its not risky running a hob with three jills ,put if im reading the post correctly you put a adult hob in the equation as well ,That i wouldn't do he might kill the kit hob Quote Link to post

Joe67 239 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 alright lads thanks.those last 2 replys are good enough.ill put the big man back in on his own,was kinda hoping yous would agree it should be ok,ive been out a few times and seen nothing that had me concerned,spose it could happen anytime Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Im pretty sure if you got one hob snipped and the other castrated the vas hob would still fight when he was in season? All mine are together like I said to you, but all my hobs have got the chop. They're fine ad have been together since day 1. My jill is in with them now. Cant believe u got another hob, I made that mistake twice and it costs £££££ to Keep them together. Quote Link to post
Joe67 239 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 probaly mate but they aint fighting,so far there hasnt been any hints of any problems.theres probaly more of a problem between one of jills and hob kit than any with the adult hob and others.looking at them you would think it would be ok,but ive seen other posts in the past so thought id post for peice of mind Quote Link to post
hogie 103 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 i got a ferret the other day first thing the fella said was keep him away from other hobs because he'd allready killed another hob and fought with another i dont no if every hob will fight with other hob just what i was told about this hob i got Quote Link to post
Elmer Fudd 2011 39 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 yes all the hobs i have had will fight to the death if they are in season they will kill kits as well my mate had 3 hobs in hutchs in a out place and hes kids had been in and left them out and he only had one hob standing when he got home from work and that one was not very well for a bit ( his name from then on was tyson the ferret ) 1 Quote Link to post
