Re: Is this right?
I've never had ferrets or had anything to do with them, so don't hold me down by this, but I don't see why you couldn't.

Re: Is this right?
Males and females can be kept together when not in season, no raging hormones on either side. Have heard of entire males being removed from a business when in season (no unwanted pregnancies) and then put back when hormones settle.
Unless you wanted to breed from them it would probably be better to get them all neutered then they can live together all year round ![]() |

Re: Is this right?
Thanks, that's cleared things up
![]() The reason it all came up is because we are hoping to get 2 jills tomorrow and we already have 2 hobs. I don't want to breed and we're getting the males neutered when their next in season. |

Re: Is this right?
Hi,
You don't have to wait 'til hobs are in season to get them nuetered. In fact our latest rescue a 'hibrid' poley is going this morning. He will be our second to be done around this time of year. Vet says 'although testicles maybe withdrawn they are still there and accessible'. This rescue is a great challenge. He attacked my hubby and inflicted 38 puncture wounds on day one...Wee soul is petrified. However a week later and he is well settled with my other 4 hobs and comes along the 'trampoline' walkway for a love. Still gets frightened with quick movements and loud noises...But we will get there |

Re: Is this right?
It's our vets that would prefer to not neuter them now. They prefer it when their in season because it's an easier procedure
![]() All the other vets in the area have no experience neutering ferrets. I was putting thought into getting one of them castrated to bring the jills out of heat but i havn't put much thought into it yet. 38 puncture wounds?! I bet that hurt.Thankfully i've never been bitten badly, only nips whilst playing ![]() |

Re: Is this right?
ive got 4 ferrets to hobs and gills and they are kept in pairs i wouldent mix them as the boys can be rougth and dont realy want babys
i dont think it would be a wise thing to do unless both gill and hob had been done then i would keep them together ... ![]() |

Re: Is this right?
Kelseye, are your jills not neutered? did you know they can get a life threatening condition if not mated or brought out of season if they are not neutered? (there are implants or 'jill jabs' to help bring them out.)
