For many years all I ever kept was jills and I knew nothing about jills dying by being left in season to long, maybe this was due to the cleanliness of my ferrets living quarters and it was only when I went on the internet that people started having a go at me for the way I kept my ferret and I started to think that maybe these people were right.

Over the last 10 years or so I have returned to my old ways of keeping ferrets, no more use for vasectomised hobs and no more use for the jill jab, not even any visits to my vet, yet all my present ferrets are alive and well, the only visits to my vet these days are social calls or getting the pet passport for any kit being exported.
