Thanks so much for sharing your videos. Seeing the kits grow reminds me how of getting a ferret was the best decision in my life, despite losing him, after so many years, being the hardest moment in my life. Watching these kits grow remind me I have so much love to give to ferrets still.

Rural Pest Control Whitwell hopefully Dad only said there was 4 or 5 but I saw about 8 in there the other day so we had a look and there was 11

How long do your ferrets live for on average? Is it normal for them to show signs of cancer/illness in their older years? I live in America, so my only experience with ferrets have been breeding farm ferrets. Two of mine died before they were three (both had cancer) - I've heard that ferrets outside of America are healthier and I'm curious to know if this is true.

My eldest hob is 7 this year. He isn't as active as the younger ones and his two brothers I also had have passed away. They can live anywhere up to 10 years old if looked after correctly.

Thanks 👍 It's up to you really. They won't come into season until next year. So you could wait until around march April time next year. That's when they'll start to come into season.

@Duster Davies so they'll both be in season at the moment unless you've had them done. If they are currently in seperate hutches swap them over for a few days so they can get to smell each other. Then introduce them to each other but stay with them for a while so that you can seperate them if needed.

Hello mate, any advice on introduce a Jill kit to a group of 3 adult jills?

@ruralpestcontrol

4 жыл бұрын

How old are the older Jill's ? I think the only thing you'll find is that the older Jill's will try and mother the kit. If you are there with them when you introduce them you'll be able to keep an eye on them. Let them see and smell each other first through the wire, or swap their hutches over so they can get use to the smell of each other first.

Rural Pest Control Whitwell the older jills are 3 and 5. Should I wait for the kit to get a bit older and bigger or no? Thanks mate!

They'll want to mother it more cause it's that time of year. If your currently keeping them in seperate hutches swap them over for a few days so they can smell each other. I don't think they'll do any harm to the young Jill it just might be a bit much for her when all three are trying to mother her.

I personally don't think there's any difference. Whether it's for a pet or working. Both are as tame if handled from an early age and both can work as well as each other. The only issue you can have is when they come into season each year.

You can't really train them to catch rabbits. It's their natural instinct, all you can do is put them in front of a rabbit hole and hope for the best. The more they go the more they get use to it. Some are better than others.
