Jills coming into season

[SteveHolden 2]

Hi

 

I am located in North Wales and have two young polecat jills(born last year) who are now showing signs of coming into "season".

 

I would like to mate them and am looking for a hob within driving distance of Prestatyn. I know there are implications if they are not mated. Alternatively, can anybody advise on spaying and any likley consequences.

 

Thanks in advance

Managed to get my two jills mated with 2 local "greyhound" hobs. Can't wait to see the litter (fingers crossed).

 

When should I be separating the two jills (sisters), anticipating they are pregnant?

Seperate them no later than 2 weeks to delivery.

Why bother if they both have been raised together and are due together ?.

In case you have problems with one and have to intervene, won't cause the other one to turn on her litter. Also means you know which ones come from which.

Ive always had more bother separating them than leaving them together, and unless its a first litter jill it rare that ive had a problem with a jill .
