hi to all

 

i am thinking of investing in another hob to keep my little one happy. i already have one albino hob which is about 21weeks old. would it be ok to keep the two lads together?

 

would they kill eachother etc...?

 

thanks in advance

i have 2 hobs living together but they are bothers but are fine with each other

i had two hobs and they used to always fight, had to put them in seperate cages think you would be better off getting a jill

[wabbithunter_15 0]

but i dont want the bother of kits when she comes into heat.....

 

and for some reason i like the bigger sizes of the hobs......

 

thanks for the replys

you could give it a go and get another hob but if it dont work out you could put them in seperate cages

sorry just thought i would add that my hob is very well natured wouldn hurt a fly lol but then i wouldnt know what the other hob would be like.......

all my ferts live in a community system, 9 alltogether, 4 hobs,5 jills

the hobs consist of

buster the dad, now castrated

smudger and manky his sons

and nipper an ousider I bought in for next years breeding

 

you can see from watching them, they have already sorted out the dominance of who's who etc

but I still have a large block of cages, for putting jills or hobs into that i dont intend to breed from

 

i think if your keeping 2 hobs together, then you need to look at the habitat, a small cage and they prob will fight, a large court, and they have room to keep away from each other if need be

I have kept hobs together in a court plenty of room to avoid each other if neccesary during the breeding season when hormones are running wild. The occasional squabble did happen but nothing to severe however i wouldnt keep 2 hobs together in a cage environment could possibly result in "CAGE RAGE"

I put my 2 unrelated hobs together a couple of months ago and they squabbled a bit for the first while but I just left them to it and now they are best mates. They do occasionaly have play fights etc but they are both as bad as each other for provoking them, and in any case jills fight all the time too its just playing/pecking order. In the breeding season it might get a little more hostile though, Ill have to play it by ear, but for now they are more than happy to cuddle up with each other to sleep!

thats not gonna prove if the eventual keeping of two hobs will be ok, putting your mates hob in, and then a different hob later could be a totally different kettle of fish

yea supose your right well i shal build them a new court and then see how i feel about another............

I managed to keep my hobs together this summer no problem, but next year may be totally different

why would it be different next year FL due to reaching the sexual age?
