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~~~ [Posted in FML issue 2681]
