Kay 3,709 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Is it a jill your wanting a price for ? as i have heard people paying as much as a hundred quid for a spey, but if he cant give you a set price for a spey go elsewhere its bread & butter to a vet that kind of work Quote Link to post

That seem a lot. Im sure my jills were less than £50 each and my hob was £49! I asked for a discount as all my animals are registered at the same vets and they gave me 10% off better than fullprice though. I'd phone around if I were you. Quote Link to post

lorelei0922 2 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 a bit steep in my opinion... but prices vary from vet to vet and the part of the country... we pay £40 for jills spey and £35 for hobs Castrate... £37.50 for Vasectomy down here in Sunny Devon Quote Link to post

sue 1 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 it really does depend on what types of vet you go to ,eg town /country vets ,i have been ripped off by vets but ive found myself a really great country vet ,i took a stray jill in last summer and she needed an emergency spay ,vet was out and saying ferret was coming round from the op before i had finished signing papers thought then it would be a second mortgage ,but i was only charged just over £35 .so just get the phone book out and ring around Quote Link to post
fr0gman4 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Cost me £70.00 to get a hob snipped. So now thats his sole job dont work him any more dont want him to get lost or damaged cos I aint wanting to pay for another one doing Quote Link to post

Vasectomized hobs still maintain all their hormones... they will smell like a whole hob in season and will fight like a whole hob in season.Which will mean seperating your hobs ( though sometimes a good bonded pair of brothers do fine in season) and sometimes needing to seperate them from the jills except to do the deed because they wont care if the jill is outta season or knocked up.. they will just keep trying to mate.. which can be rather stressing on the jill and at times violent... for this reason Castrating can be a less expensive and more harmonious answer.. castrated hobs can happily live with other hobs and jills whether in season or not.
