4Th Jill To Miss

[neil b 2,296]

After 3 Jill's missed to 3 different hobs we lined a polecat Jill to a different hob only for her to miss too, she showed all the signs, last Thursday night she had a bloody discharge at feeding time so I though the next morning would see a nest full but not a single kit. Our last hope is a Jill due in about 10 days,

If she had a bloody discharge shes probably had them and ate them mate. We needed some youngsters this year,four jills required between us,the jill we mated had 7,6 hobs and 1 jill Fingers crossed for your other jill ATB Dave

I'm thinking along the same lines if she's had a discharge she could of had them and ate them , mate

[neil b 2,296]

Quite possible 2 years ago she had. Young and was very protective with them,

[The one 8,467]

She almost certainly will come back into season but there going to be late kits if she rears the next litter

I'm just waiting on a Jill now, 10 days left, I've used a hob from outside our line now so fingers crossed if not il have to make do next season with a few ageing members of our team

Hi neil

 

I agree with Northern Lad and The One I think she ate them, try screwing the nest box lid down so she is not disturbed we used to do that years ago.

 

I doubt that she will come back into season as days are getting shorter, I think i'm right that is the length of day light hours has some control over them coming into season.

 

But you never know fingers crossed and good luck.

 

Cheers Arry
