johnrthrfrd 223 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 This is the first year I have not had a snipped hob to bring the gills out of season or had them jabbed so was a bit worried when you read about them dieting if they are not brought out of season after a phone call to the vet I use the gills were left to come out of season naturally . I had 3 gills in season I also have 1 gill which has been spayed the gills were giving a good varied diet and as usual clean conditions they have came through it with no problems what so ever.so is the myth that gills have to be mated or they die true I believe not. I have getting a new hob and he will be snipped for next year but I would not be afraid to let the gills have there season naturally . 1 Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thats all well and good mate and its worked out ok for you..Im happy for you. But its still bad advice in general for the Jill to be left in season all that time. Apart for all the health issues and possible problems related . How would you like to be in a perminant state of arousal with nowt to do execpt rub yourself up. . . Poor little feckers You say dont be afraid to let your jill have there season naturally... If that were the case they would be having kits. . .its not natural to be in season all summer. If your stuck for a Hob next time..bring them down to me and They can have a few days with my Vas Hob anytime.. same goes for anyone else around here. all the best for the season evryone.

Tug 168 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) If your vet advised that, then it's another vet that knows zip shit about ferrets. They probably advise using alcohol or Vaseline on ticks too... Edited September 1, 2012 by Tug Quote Link to post
