Working Spayed Jills.

[HedgeCrawler 224]

I'm currently in the position of having been given 2 spayed jills to give a go this season. The only issue I have with them is their both dark in colour and I much prefer the lighter colours as the majority of warrens I do are in thick hawthorn and it helps to see the ferret.

But they also won't come into season stopping the risk of infection while working them which I see as a big plus.

Is anyone else working or has worked spayed jills and how did they perform compared to if they were intact?

All my jills are spayed and the hobs neutered as well all work just as well

Put bells on them! Use Velcro so if they get stuck they can rip them off so cheap to buy so if ya lose a few no matter.

No difference in the way they work fixed or not

Good to hear, I'm adopting a pair of spayed Jill's that belong to a friends kid as he is off to uni.

 

I said I'd have them on the understanding that they would be going down holes a d wouldn't be just pets
