Gin 498 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 You should really keep two ferrets, they are not solitary animals. That size would be big enough though. 1 Quote Link to post

Steve Thomson 24 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Can you keep two male ones together. Quote Link to post
tiger82 43 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 You must be a beginner, they say you can keep two brothers together and it should be ok. Just keep an eye out next year for fighting in the breeding season. They should be fine together in the winter and try and get them smallish if you're working hobs it will save you on digging.

tiger82 43 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Two hobs or two jills, every year you must breed a Jill or get the Jill jab. If you're going to breed your own working line then you could get a male and female from working stock. You have plenty of time until May to get a new hutch and separate them if you need to. Two males should be OK to live together but don't stud one out because after one has mated it won't be the same in the season and will probably fight.

tiger82 43 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 They will be fine if you don't let them mate with a Jill because if you do they will want female company in the season and take a disliking to each other. Quote Link to post
