FerretFluff 1 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Evening lads, my first post so... My Jill ferret is in heat at the moment and she is with a vasectomised hob. However he has been quite rough with her and she has a bald, sore patch on her neck. I have given it as clean with some water but not sure what to do next or wether I can use savlon antiseptic stuff on it. This is my 2nd year of keeping ferrets so I'm relatively new and was just wondering wether anyone else has had the same problem or know of any way of stopping it from getting worse many thanks Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 It’s normal it’s what happens but in the wild she would have moved on now. He has done his job she will come out of season so split them up ...... 2 2 Quote Link to post

garbs 90 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Agree with the above I’m in Aus my Gills have had kits this past 6months and most have battle scars from mating some males are nastier than others when it comes to doing the deed but that’s the way it is in the ferret world but the gills recover quick 1 Quote Link to post
