nym 0 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have 2 jills both the same age 1 year they live together and one of them seems to be in season (shes swollen) I have a hob who lives on his own in another cage,Now then i want to breed my 2 jills so do I put the jill into the Hobs cage for mating or do I put the Hob into the Jills cage Also after the mating do I keep the Jills in separate cages till giving birth or would they be ok still living together and giving birth in the same cage together. A few questions I know but advice needed please Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Just do it simple, no need to complecate things. Put the hob in the jill cage( with one jill in) he will smell her cage and all the strong odours. He will be well up for it. leave them over night, then remove your jill, simple as that. Then if you like, put him in again a few nights later just to make sure. Write down the dates, then count your days down to the more or less exact day when she is going to give birth pal, simple.

runforyourlife 361 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 the jills cage will have the scent of the female and her seasoned smell, making him all the more horny. Anyway it doesnt really matter, why confuse things now, the lad was happy with some sound advice,, Quote Link to post
nym 0 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 all advice is much appreciated thanks I know with dogs they say its best to take the bitch to the dog but I can see the good idea of the Hob into the jills cage with all that odour around. thanks for the offer of if I need anymore advice to get in touch Quote Link to post
droid 11 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 If you want to keep it really simple, then why bother breeding at all? In about a month this forum will be inundated with offers of kits, and there's bound to be a few round your way. Quote Link to post
Leeview 791 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thank you for your advicesorry but would it be best to keep the 2 jills in separate cages after the mating and till the birth. If your going to keep the jills together wait for them both to come in season and mate them the same day, that way litters will be same age if you do decide to mate one today I'd separate them before shes due to have them Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post

Is this the same leeview who gave me the Hob last year and met me at leeds ? cheers Yes I did give someone a hob from Skipton way, how did you do with him? Its more than likely that your jill being in season will shortly induce the other into season as well as the light and weather improving Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
