Ferret snip

[jigsaw 11,863]

We keep 3 Jill's and a job here,and as the time of year it is the Jill's are in full heat,and we've the job in a different section of the yard in a separate cage,but fuk me the poor b*****d is demented,he's slowly dismantling the cage front,...he was booked in for the snip last week but we all got COVID so it's been postponed till next week,and then it takes 2 weeks before he's ready to be let loose on the ladies,it can't happen soon enough,the noise of him rattling and pulling on the cage is never ending,he's frustrated the poor fecker,is there anything that can relax him,....I expect not

I keep my vasectomised hob in with the Jill’s all year round, he doesn’t bother them that much to be honest, when he’s done a cage full I move him down into the next cage, where as hobs that are housed separately seem more manic if that makes sence

Cheapest round me was £280..found a young vet ,she had never done it before,and offered to do it for £98...I thought that was very reasonable...I expect now she's done her first,the price will rocket

Vasectomy,so he can still mate but bring the Jill's out is season

Had a young job done earlier this year. £70 for the op and £30 for the tubes to be sent to the lab to confirm they’d cut out the right bits . Not sure what would have happened if it came back they’d cut the wrong bits or even what the wrong bits could be!!! Anyway all well and he is currently doing the business with the girls so will post if any kits get dropped

Put my hob back in yesterday with 4 jills ...was on them straight away doing the bizz...soon see if it's worked

I must admit i always get rescue ferrets and both the hobs and the gills have had the opp ; usually before i rehome them .  Saves alot of hassle.

Our job was due to get done but the vet got COVID,so it was postponed,but he was done yesterday,he's right as rain today but has shaved nether regions lol..so in 2 weeks we see if it worked,now last week the vet thought it was a castration and it was 60 quid,the vasectomy cost 150... thankfully the bit was sorted out

It's best to wait at least 6 weeks before allowing a vasectomized hob to breed as there can be residual sperm.
