[steffan1991 0]

been down the shed thismorning and my jillis comming in season,i dont want kits so i thought i would have to give her a jill jab or put her on a snipped hob, but the bloke i got her off just said to keep her huch cleen to stop infection and she will come out of season in a week or two , but i aint too sure about that, what do you think?

he's right in saying keep her hutch clean which is what you should be doing anyway, but she wont come out of season unless you get her jabbed or mated with a vecectomised hob. jill jab isnt expensive but look around for a vecectomised hob first if i were you. there's no big rush but she cannot be left in season.

thanks

She wont come out of season on her own mate, have a look on the "vasectimised hobs" forum at the top of the ferreting section

but are you going to do anything about it,?!

either a snipped hob, or the jill jab

or just hoping that by keeping the hutch clean, she won't pick up an infection

i rang up the vets and they want £20 for a jill jab, is that good or bad?

[sue 1]

where i am thats quite expensive £5 each what mine charges ,i would phone around other vets

I have 2 jills that are in season right now. They were in season all last summer, never mated them, had no problems.

I know of a good mate with 2, 8 year old jills, he has never mated them and his never had a problem.

I wont, be breeding ferrets, as i think their is enough about.

I dont know of any sniped hobs in my area, or for that mattar, within a 100 miles of me...

The vets round me are all cow doctors, so i just keep the ferrets clean and they all seem fine.

Just my experince on the matter.

I have also had jills in the past, who i never mated, they all lived to be around the 8 to 11 year mark, without any problems what so ever.

Mate if you don't want to breed for what ever reason DON'T. And don't let people frighten you into doing it. My mate had a jill for 10 years and didn't breed it ever, it died of old age.I don't breed from mine every year no probs.You must keep them very clean, there will be so many baby ferrets this year that people won't be able to give em away.Good luck
