The one 8,477 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Ive had a albino in season for a couple of weeks and it looks like a couple of sandies are coming into season as well neither of the hobs are interested in them at this time of year and im thinking about getting them jill jabbed .Ive never had ferrets coming into season this early Quote Link to post

The one 8,477 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Outside in two hutches there's no artificial light near them if its dark when i get home i feed them with a torch Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Your the second person who i have heard has jills coming into season , strange as there kept outside as well Quote Link to post
will.f11 24 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 perhaps its to do with global warming? all the plants, flowers were acting weird this year aswell Quote Link to post
greatwhitehunter 47 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 my albino jill came back into season for the second time this year, and it was really late. i didnt bother putting her to a hob and shes just come out of season after 1 or 2 months. she is fine just been a bit skinny and she still ahs her summer coat. they should be fine mate Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thats very strange, never seen jills come in so soon, something is definatly out of sync there. I wonder if the albino has triggered the others? I know it's not ethical to just breed for no reason, especially just as an experiment, but if the jill is a good one, would it be worth lining her, and seeing what happens? Quote Link to post
Sterry 0 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 What the deal with leaving ferrets in season without breeding or jill jab. i've spoken to vets about this and one said theres no harm to be done but the other said that it was really detrimental to the ferret. cant find any evidence for either side of the argument Quote Link to post

The one 8,477 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Im not interested in breeding my jills but the snipped hobs not interested ,But while the rest look like wee polar bears the albino doesnt ,but shes in fine fettle and does a full days graft she's 4/5 years old so i dont know why she's coming into season ,the sandies are 8/9 years old they maybe feel there clock's ticking away Quote Link to post
Flying Ferrets 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 thats strange, but I know it happened here in Denmark too, this year and last year, both indoor and outdoor ferrets. I blame the global warming, what else could it be? Maybe theres a few v-hobs out there which are a little early too? There's one in Denmark, but again, thats a little far to go for you Quote Link to post
JordKil 0 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Two of my jills (this seasons) have come into season and been savaged by my hob its pretty odd Jordan Quote Link to post
