hi im goimg to get into ferrets im just wondering what are best hobs or jills or does it matter im new to ferrets so i would like all help i can get thanks like can you keep hobs together things like that

I think its a personal choice really, i prefer hobs personally, i like there laid back nature, just a few things to bare in mind really, if you get jills you have to be mindfull when they come into season & they need bringing out of season using one of a few methods

 

allowing them to have a litter

run them with a vasectomised hob

getting them a hormone injection at the vets

or speying this is the only sensible option if you never intend breeding the ferrets

 

Hobs will live happily together all season if your lucky, i left my pair together this year with no problems . but some people have had to seperate there hobs due to fights & to prevent any injury to each other,

 

Good luck

Ive got a big ol tranny ferret with the sussies and everything...the best god dam ferret ive ever had

 

But joking aside i prefer wee jills as i find im not digging lie-ups as often

I like a good pole cat jill, They seem more frisky than than the others, plus being smaller your not resetting nets all the time.

i have always used white ferrets [jills] but they all work given the chance and time and it is all down to what your happy with at the end of the day,happy hunting,
