You just got a gay ferret............ :icon_eek: :icon_eek:

On a more serious note it sounds like a dominance thing......but you should get Vasectomised, castrated

or things could get very nasty may even kill the other hob. If you can i would separate them ..........undue stress on the one thats being dominated aint fair.

When they come into season it could get a hell of a lot worse.......not sure about it just being in the run, what they like when in the box do they all sleep together?

if you castrated it would work but if you vasectomised it would still happen as they will still have sex drive best to separate males in summer unless there all castrated

Can be done from 5 months but recommended about 7-8 months ......no problem getting him done now. If in doubt just ring your vets.........but they are done as early as 5 months and i normaly have any hob done at 11-12 months with no complications at all.

Is that both castration and vascicimised?

Is that both castration and vascicimised?

Yes Tomos that is for both castration and vasectomy.......ive never had a hob vasectomised i always get castration.....keeps the smell down and i find (personal opinion) that they are less aggressive.
