Some of the thoughts going through my mind are ..... Donna, giving a hob a vasectomy will only make it impossible for him to produce offspring. His hormones will not be affected at all. He will still go into rut, have the same odor, display the same mating urges. If you wish to curb all this, you will have to have him neutered. Don't descent unless he develops gland problems. I recently neutered one of my hobs, and he doesn't smell any different than my "convenience" gibs. val "Shamrock" [log in to unmask] Valeriane Luke McNeill Biology major/CS minor Marine Biology/Zoology [Posted in FML issue 1557]
