[Gin 498]

You should really keep two ferrets, they are not solitary animals. That size would be big enough though.

Some advice here, may be of help.

Can you keep two male ones together.

[tiger82 43]

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.

i am a beginner.what sex would you recommend keeping together then.

[tiger82 43]

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.

so I should get one of the hobs sniped.

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.
