Hello,
There is a petshop in our area, which are selling castrated kits, which are 8 weeks old. These have no visibly scar tissue, so we expect it to be done before they turn 8 weeks.
We have hear a lot of rumours and opinions about what kind of health problems this can cause, but we would like to get this confirmed.
We have hear things like:
Smaller ferrest, which are less mature.
Greater tendensy to cancer.
Urin problems.
And a general lack of hormones.
In Denmark, most people tend to castrate male kits at around 6-8 months. So we would like to hear at what age, this is done in other contries. Especially if castrating before the age of 8 weeks is responsible.
