If my ferret can not meet his mating full-filllment could he possibly die? My female ferret is fixed so would he still try to mate with her? What are some things that can be done?

Ferrets like most animals can get frustrated when their natural mating instinct for breeding can not be fulfilled. I strongly recommend getting your male ferret neutered for several reasons: it will increase his lifespan and decrease risks of certain cancers and diseases; it will reduce the musky ferret odor common to intact male ferrets; it will relieve him of his anxiety for a constant need to mate; it will reduce aggressiveness; it will make the female very happy not to be mounted constantly!

Only female ferrets can die if they are not fixed. If your ferrets are fixed you have nothing to worry about. Get the book ferrets for dummies. It's a great soarce of info about ferrets.

not authentic. whilst buying a ferret maximum states will require that they are already spayed or neutered until eventually you're a breeder. i've got had many acquaintances that have had them which includes my brother. i in my opinion enjoyed the temperament of the ladies human beings. it is likewise a private decision. They smell soooooo undesirable although! you could bathe them replace the muddle they nevertheless stink. you could enable them to run unfastened yet they are going to lower back up into the corners of your place and crap. There very wonderful yet fairly gross. in addition they are little hoarders. you will locate stuff lacking and eventually locate their treasure trove decrease than your settee or some not difficulty-free to realize place. while you're searching for a boyfriend/lady chum don't get one using fact your total residing house will smell like a stink bomb.

That's just a rumour that ALL men spread. Don't believe it!
Seriously, ask a vet or find a good book on ferrets.

the first thing is why would you get an intact male when you have a spayed female? not a very wise decision to begin with. but i am sure there is no sever health hazards with a male not getting laid, after all men are still alive!!!!

Only female ferrets will die if not bred. An intact male ferret, however, will smell VERY strongly to forwarn you. Get him neutered.

no he wont die he will be fine he might be upset but not dead mybe let him play humpypumpy with the girl it wont do any thing. if they are already in together and he doesnt hump her then its fine he will live just like us. do we die if we dont have our share of mating no. so its fine.
