neutering a hob

[ilovetoshoot12345 0]

if you not neuter a hob (chop its testicles off completely) will it calm him down and take a bit of the smell away.

the only reason i ask this is the wife wont stop moaning at the smell in the garden.

i personly dont hve a problem at all with the smell but you know how it is.

personally i think providing there kept clean , bedding etc & fed a good diet even an entire hob shouldnt smell that bad you can smell it outside, if theres a strong smell outside then it could be latrine areas need to be cleaned more often

use white vinegar to clean the cage out,as its acid and urine is alkeline,(or the other way round )so it will nutrlise it

good luck

The answer is yes but hobs only smell in the summer when there testies drop if cleaning him out dont work try washing him ,castrating him seems a bit sever

ive tried washing him before but he didn't seem to like it too much and he got a bit nippy.

I'd be changing the wife

 

Fortunately mine loves my ferrets.

 

Most ferrets love a bath. Keep the water just warm, not hot, and quite shallow though, so as not to panic them.

I use cucumber shampoo from the pet shop.

Are you feeding dry food or meat, because that can influance the smell?

Mine love the odd bath but try letting him run about the garden and sprinkling water on him

ferrets with balls do smell whiffier, but not that bad, i quite like it

 

neutering will reduce his smell

[Guest bigredbusa]

nothing worse then a stinking fert

[will.f11 24]

Mine are on jameswellbeloved most of the time, and they dont smell any worse than when they are on meat

if it shuts the wife up then i think its worth getting him neutered

my entire hob has abit of a whiff with him when his balls is droped as previously stated , but castration is pretty severe , batheing can make them smell worse ive heard as they try harder to give of there scent thus making it worse , i used to wash mine every so often but now there never washed but they do go in water but with no shampoo . id tell ur misses to get used to it or else , if you do decide to go for some form of treatment for yur ferret you may aswell spend alittle more and get the snip atleast that way hes use for something other than just ferreting ,i presume you work yor ferrets?

i got my ferrets at the last year at the end of winter but i will be working them this year.

i think i'll just wash him as you say. i want to keep him a whole hob for when my jill comes in to heat again, as he is the father of the kits i have at the moment.
