At what age can I get my male ferret neutered?

Answers:
Minimum age to neuter a ferret should be about 6 months. This gives the ferret enough time to develop fully. Neutering ferrets as babies as they do in America is barbaric. Any respectable vet will not do it until the testicles are descended which in kits born late in the season may not happen to nearer spring next year.
Early neutering is also suspected in many of the ailments that American ferrets suffer from that are not that common in the UK.

4 months. Actually, I'm a little surprised you have an unneutered ferret. In my state they must be neutered to be sold in the store. If there are 2 dots tattooed on his ear he has alreadt been neutered and descented.

Did you get him directly from the breeder?
If not, and you got him from a pet store, he has already been neutered, well he should have been anyway. Some do slip past.
One person said 4 months, I would wait till at least 8 months though. It gives your boy a chance to grow up with all his hormones in place as they should be. He should be much larger and healthier overall.

best wait till your in your forties

It depends on what age you are now.

5-6 months I believe.
Just so you know, if you also have a female ferret the male will need to have a vasectomy (tubes tied) rather than a castration (testicles removed) - female ferrets actually become anaemic if they don't have an intact male with them when they're in heat.
