Ferret Question.

[rusty206 1]

Hello all, this may sound like an extremely dumb question. But I need an answer, hopefully taking my new hob out ferreting this weekend, along with my jill. Now I've had my jill and my hob in the same cage etc, the jill is roughly about 5 months, and the hob 18. Now I know that my jill is Definately not in season, so would it be alright when I'm out ferreting to put both of them down the same warren? Or would they try and mate and just stuff around? As I said earlier, I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I just want to do the best for my ferrets.

They should be fine if they have been in the same cage but you could give them a run around your garden before hand to see if he try's to hump her

A 5 month old Jill in May? So she was born in December?

 

If they live together now with no problems then they should be fine being worked together. But putting 2 ferrets down a set this time of year will mean one thing. Loads of baby rabbits being killed and eaten.

Should be ok,however if the hobb is feeling horny he might have other things on his mind than flushing rabbits.Take a good spade your need it!!

I've tried and tested this before,the hob will only be after one thing lads and it ain't Bunny's.

An absolulute waste of time letting the hob hunt with jills this time of the year,having said that,I'm in Ireland and our ferrets are in full season .

Thanks for the help everyone, yes the jill was born is December. And I live in australia if that helps any. I'll try and take some pictures and upload them if I can figure out how. Might just work the hob by himself.

That's them, jill on the left, and the hob on the right. I've been letting them out each day to have a bit of a run around in the backyard. They seem to be getting on quite well.
