Bossie 90 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Had a 600-650 gram hob last year which is quite small if you ask me. Worker great but sadly got lost during a hunting trip. Probably due to a marter/badger/fox. Quote Link to post

Hawk17 15 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Nice small Hobs, I might need a good working Hob to line my Jill's next year Quote Link to post
neil b 2,353 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) All these small ferrets are is just runt x runt , resulting in breeding week offspring IMO Edited August 20, 2017 by neil b Quote Link to post
vfr400boy 3,455 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have a small hob and 2 small jills , they work very well and don't eat much, will be looking for a small hob to line my small Jill if any one has one or would like to swap Hobs for a week or to next spring?

neil b 2,353 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Can't see them doing that well on some of the big fell rabbits we come across, doubt they would manage a full days hard work, I like big strong hobs and Jill's. It's just another fad, micro, angora, ect £££££ that's all, they won't see the test of time, if it's not WHITE it's not right IMO Quote Link to post
Bobtheferret 1,252 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I like a small hob, the big ones are just to powerful and rabbits can't get away. I have bred a smaller line for years and the hobs are normally the size of very big strone Jill's but seem to work all day tirelessly whereas I find the Jill's can tire. I have a big hob and have seen him literally dragging healthy, strong, adult rabbits out of the holes! Good when he drags them out but he does kill a lot under ground. Atb with your hobs Neil.

Hawk17 15 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) I've got a class small dark silver Hob, he is small and stocky same size as an eu Jill. Just to add my friend had a small albino Jill years ago and a rabbit knacked it and hammered it's back the ferret was culled because it couldn't move anymore.
