    Ahh I see what you mean. I thought you had to breed them on their first season otherwise they permanently remained in season which wasn't good for their health. If she's not pregnant this time, I will contact my vet and see about the Jill Jab. Thanks all very much for your advice and help.....I will keep you posted

    Thanks for the reply, I have had ferrets for 5 years, but this is the first time I have wanted to breed from them (my origonal 2 are neutered). When I started to read up on the subject I learnt that they can breed in their first season but I was just a little confused when Ideation said maybe nature is trying to tell me something! I think I confused myself when people mentioned 'the season' I was thinking of breeding and think you guys meant ferreting season (can you tell mine are pets rather than workers!! It wasn't until I read it out to my Dad (who hunts) that it was explained to me!

    I have an albino Jill and although she isn't blind, she doesn't have the best sight (as far as I can tell!) I held her and waved a finger in front of her eye to see if she blinked, so you could try that.

    Thank you all for your help, As she came into season this spring and we wanted to have a litter from her, I just thought I had to breed from her that year because of the jill's not coming out of season I just presumed that she wouldn't come into season until she was old enough to breed! Could this be why she didn't catch with my hob and the more experienced ferret just sees her as a kit? I have separated them now and it looks like she is coming out of season, will be ok for her remain entire until next spring? I'd love to breed from her but I don't want to put her health at risk.

    Good afternoon all, I wonder if anyone can offer some insight into my breeding problem... My 1year old Jill came into season a while ago so we put our 1 year old Hob in with her, they had a weekend of passion then I took him out. She came out of season and remained 'heavy' whilst our others went lightweight for the summer and she started to get teats and pluck her fur to nest - 7 weeks later she came back into season so I presume she had a phantom. By now we had already had our Hob neutered I borrowed an older proven Hob (5 Jills this year and all caught)and popped him in with h
