Hi there - I'm just wondering what classifies as early or late?  My ferret
(Scooter) was neutered at around 3 months of age ( I waited until after his
testes had fully dropped).  The breeder that Scooter came from has another
liter due soon and am considering getting Scoot a friend.  If anyone knows
when the best time to neuter a male and a female is please let me know as
I'd like to do the best thing by my new fuzzy.  I've heard lately that male
should not be neutered until 6 months of age.
 
Thanks for any info
Ilsa & Scooter~~~
