Kay 3,709 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 when a jill comes back in season just after having kits do nyou have to breed her to a vasc. hob or can you just breed her to a normal hob that has everything in tack Why would you want her to have a second litter .. that will near enough finnish her off ... its not my ferret Kay my jill had 11 kits and isnt back in season,i was asked to find out as much i could about her coming back in season so early after having 3 kits I have never had a jill come back into season after she has been brought out either jill jab or vasectomised hob route... my ferrets tend not to come into season untill around march time here .... so i waited till they had been in about 10 days then got them jabbed so it was probably early april when they were done & in the past they havent come back in ...

ferret lady 73 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I've had jills with small litters (4 or less) come in heat when the kits were about a week old on two separate occasions. Both times I tried to false the jill about her 10th day and both times she made it clear to the hob that he was dead if he so much as laid a paw on her. Their vulvas started shrinking a few hours later. The milk production was not affected at any time, and both jills continued to nurse their kits through 6 weeks or so. Quote Link to post
