I have two pygmy baby boys, they are 4weeks old. Everything I am reading is saying to wait to band them...but not sure how long to wait? Secondly, called TSC to see if they had the banding equipment, and they said they had one for cows. Will this work, or do I need to look for a different one online? How long does it usually take for the testicles to fall off after you've band them? I will be doing this myself and is my first time, so any tips are helpful. I've found a couple sites w/pictures showing how to do it step by step. Thanks!!!!

I would wait until they are 3 months old. I haven't done any banding yet so no tips on how to do it.
