Overrun with beasties
I have a Nigerian Dwarf / Pygmy buck that I am either going to sell or castrate. He was born on 8/5/2014 - is he too old to castrate using bands? Or would I need to have the vet come out and do it surgically?
If you were planning on using banding to do the castration, as long as you can get the band over both testicles you can still castrate him. I help a friend of mine castrate all of her bucklings and they are usually around 3 months of age when we do them. We've done about 10 or so around 3 months of age. We pick them up by the hind legs to band them and that works really well.
