So are you saying that one should BREED their Ferret every year then? If you don't think they should be spayed or Jill jabbed? Well that would be pretty damn cruel in itself... overbreeding a poor animal, having to go through labour etc etc. Or do you mean not spayed but mated with a vasectomized hob?

I wouldn't really advise telling people to do this. I am not saying I don't agree with breeding Ferrets... as long as people know what they're doing and can find homes for them then fine. But you saying this could provoke irresponsible or people with not enough knowlege about breeding to start breeding Ferrets, then God knows what could happen.

Personally, I would advise people who want them as pets and nothing more to get them spayed at the right time. It will save alot of unwanted kits and stress on the Jill.

Agree with CKM - just wanted to add that Vasectomy is not a very reliable procedure, and many, many litters have been sired by so called "vasectomized" hobs. Also the mating procedure is fairly stressful on the jill as a whole. So for anyone reading who is looking for a way to prevent their jill coming into season, spaying is by far the best option.
