ROMEO666 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Well my hybrid fascination began years ago. I always had an interest in all mustelids. My biggest interest was our wild polecat. I always wanted one, at all costs they are beautifull creatures. Two years ago i went to see an old fellow in blairgowrie...to get my first european polecat. This old lad claimed to have captured a jill and hob from the wild. And of course bred them. I went and had a look at them, they were very cautous in the court he had for them. They seemed to hideaway in the dark of the nest boxes i compared them to several pictures i had with me and was satisfied they were what he claimed them to be. But i wanted to handle the parents, the old fella went to fetch welding gloves....but i refused...i wanted to handle them by hand....this is where i recieved my first bites, this did not hinder me these creatures are magnificent and wild. Anyway the old boy had taken the kits away at three weeks and put them in with another jill he had, so the kits were tame. He gave me a jill for free. We also talked hybrids while his wife cleaned my handhe alerted me to the fact minks had beencrossed with polecats in russia......and also that it was posible to x weasels with ferrets. This caughtmy imagination and i began my research. If you wish me to continie i wwill Link to post
ROMEO666 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 First of all i had to have a reason to breed hybrids so i studied the pros and cons. I concluded that the polecat is bigger, muscular, and stockier. That hybrid breeding could create and enhance the ferret bloodlines. A cross would have better eyesight, than normal ferret. A hybrid would have more physical capailities and be more dominant. But also concluded they might be less social more cautious and more mentaly aware of there surroundings. With this in mind i continuedmy research intominks. I soon discovered they have an extra set of chromosomes than polecats, and if bred the males wouldne sterile this i saw as a breakthrough in ferret jills being in season. If someone could breed a sterile tame male mink x maybe could be the answer to taking jills out of season without jill jabs and unwanted litters Link to post
