hobs fighting

[tony d 0]

evening fella's

for the past couple of days one of my hobs(smaller) has been attacking my other hob(bigger). he has been mainly biting his head and neck area i have checked him over and he has no cuts and pulling him around and making him squeel. i've just been and fed them and he is doing it again, actually looked like he was trying to do him like a jill! so i have now seperated them in 2 hutches. before this they have been fine, any ideas?

cheers tony

They are in season, if you want them to live together peacfully all year round you would have to get

them castrated.

Best to seperate them for the summer Tony.

I'd leave them together, or you'll end up with lots of single cages holding single ferrets, yup they will try it on with each other but also get a pecking order

been out this mmorning and popped him back in, he ragged him around again, so i just kept an eye on him been back out and there curled up in the sleep box. like you say stubby i'll end up with lots of single hutches, not good.

There are also quite a few guys that feed their ferrets some fruit and vegetables. Doesn't say squat whether it's good for the ferrets or not!

 

Tony, if I were you I'd castrate them or keep em seperated. If you don't they might eventually stop, but then again, that says nothing.
