Breeding advice

[terryd 8,693]

Just checking my options for the spring. I have two jills just over a year old and had them booked into the vets to be done. But at the last moment changed my mind encase one is a very good worker and I decide too have a litter in the future.

So my options when they come into season are too sit tight and hope all is well. I don't member ever having problems when I had ferrets as a kid.

Buy a hob and have him done for the purpose and also work him. I have read a vasectomised hob will bring jill out of season ?

 

The jill jab is it a once a year thing ?

 

Or find a localish vasectomised hob. Does any one have one in the west wales area that I could use at the time ?

 

any advice welcome

Cheers

its just a thought , but a paid £37 for a vascectomey for me hob hes 8 months old and the 3rd one av had done over the years . what a do is charge £5 for lining him up with jills and it pays for food and vascetomisey off vets .

keep everwhere clean and tidy and all will be fine infections have to come from somewhere ?

I thought from what I have read it was more too do with the constant bleeding which caused the problem as they stay in season ?

As I say I never had a problem 20 years ago but this is one of the joys of the internet you find out new info

Easier to get your own hob get him done then run him with the jill's all year round . Then you don't have to worry .There problems with all the methods just research them and pick what suits you

If you decide to jab them leave them in season in clean quaters till about May and then get them jabbed this way they shouldnt need a second jab, i personally use 2 vasectomised hobs.
