xHOUNDx 33 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 a couple of days ago i go handed a 9 - 10 week old polecat hob, apparently the bloke had bred too many and now he couldnt shift em, so the only place i could put him with with one of my jills who was pregnant i've built him his own hutch now and moved him into it but all he does is cry for the jill he was with, she mothered him carried him about and that. she had her kitts yesturday morning i went to let them out and heard they had arrived , the little hob was laying next to her luckily i had built the hutch the day before and it was ready for him to be moved into, he just seems offish now he's eating and that but he just sits in the corner calling for the jill, he fine when i take him out and let him have a run about, just a bit worried because last night he dint go in the nestbox either he just sat in the corner of the run all night, whats your opinions, i spose its not safe to shove him back in with the jill but dont want to loose the little fella ATB hound Quote Link to post
