ParkerF 0 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Hi, we have 2 Jill’s and both are in season. I’m trying to find a vasectomised hob as the vet told me the Jill jab isn’t available anymore. The only hobs I know of locally are in tacked. Our girls belong to my daughter who works them and they are very much loved. She would be so upset to see them go down hill due to anemia or possibly die. The vet also said they are prone to cushions disease after being spayed. Has anyone had experience of this. I don’t know what to do for the best?? Quote Link to post
Skipp 0 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 If you have a local ferret club they often have hobs you can use? Quote Link to post
Chevy Chase 79 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 If you/your daughters or anyone you know is on Facebook there is a group on there called the Jill service I think it is and it’s vasectomised hobs being offered at stud nationally, may be worth a look Quote Link to post
neil b 2,296 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Iv said it before I’d be very careful of using a vasectomised hob that’s been over loads of different Jill’s you never know what king of nasties you could be spreading, iv just got one of my hobs done £72.00 well worth the money imo Quote Link to post
Moonlighter123 155 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 There’s a Facebook group. But I’ve got my own hob, as in the past my Jill’s have needed to see a Hob 2 or 3 times throughout the summer. Quote Link to post
Bobtheferret 1,248 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Obviously won’t help you this year but get a hob in the summer, a kit, get him done and then you don’t have to stress about it again. For about £120 for 8 + years of service it’s a bargain. Quote Link to post

I only use him over my own Jill’s, iv had problems in the past by using a hob over various Jill’s Quote Link to post
Bobtheferret 1,248 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Jill jab isn’t made anymore at least that’s what my vet told me. Only option is neutering or vas hob Quote Link to post
