when do jills go into season?


Recommended Posts


They come into season with the longer day light hours and the last few years this means March to October and i work mine when there in season . Theres no other option there here to graft no sit in a hutch for six months of the year im more worried about it being warm when working them not them being in season .Its a bit of a pain as you can only work the jills as the hobs seem more interested in sex than getting to the rabbits

Never said you have to he asked " when do jills go into season and can they be worked when they are in season? "

Well sounded like he did not know this...many people do not understand the workings of female ferrets. Quite a lot of people think you have to breed to take them out of season, and some do not know ferrets have seasons. Not all people do the research before getting them.

 

and jsb...

There are mixed feelings over taking Jills out of season.

Some people never take them out of season and there ferrets are fine they do go out of season eventually each year these people often do not like the thought of putting chemicals inside there Jills ~(with the jill jab), or the vets nearby may be too expensive.

Some ferrets can get ill and even die if not taken out of season. "Leaving a ferret in season can cause too much Estrogen at toxic levels causes thinning of the fur (especially in the tail-base region) and, most critically, bone marrow suppression. The estrogen stops the bone marrow from making red blood cells (which carry oxygen around the body); white blood cells (which fight disease, cancer and infection) and platelets (which help the blood to clot). Ferrets suffering from prolonged estrogen toxicity can suffer from severe infections (due to white blood cell loss) and severe bruising and blood loss (from platelet loss). Untreated, this can result in the death of the ferret. "

Personally I get my ferrets done to get rid of any risk. One of my ferrets is spayed, another has the Jill jab. If I had a few Jills I would get a vasectomised hob to take them out of season.
