5 hobs & 7 jills

It’s great to see you are starting to Handel them at a young age. Some of the people down here where I live don’t believe you should Handel them till around 8 weeks which I believe is to long. But l also believe it depends on the mother as well. She must also be a well handled ferret. Well done and good luck with them.

I have a hob with a stumpy tail the bloke that sold it to me believed the mother had bitten it of which I find hard to believe but a great ferret on the rabbits. I will pop some photos up later of him.
