Working jill in season

[JordKil 0]

Well I put an topic up about one of my jills coming into season early a while ago. I was wondering is it ok to work her even though she is in season? I am going out for the day tommorrow and she is one of the better workers so she would be great to take with me. Would it do her any harm if she goes with me?

 

Cheers

Hard to believe you have a jill in season ! Everything is wrong ,the time of year ,light levels etc. Does'nt add up unless you've been stuffing her with hormones under an artificial sun-lamp.Or she is ill in some way.

 

If she really is in season I'd be worried she recieved a scratch or took on a bit of dirt in her "delicatly swollen" area and would not work her .

Seriously though, something is'nt right and i'd find out why .

Totaly agree with you, i am reading posts daily on other forums and here that jills are in season now, i have always kept my ferrets outside so they benefit from the natural daylight/dark thing , i am supprised to hear people who keep there ferrets outside are having them come into season already though

 

I also think it would be risky to let her work if she is very swollen just simply because of whats been highlighted about scratches etc

we've always worked our jills on heat. doesnothing to them. but just dont do it while thay are knocked up cus if thay cop a kick from the rabbit it could kill the young inside.

Kay you;ve heard of this on other forums ?

I know (well I'm fairly convinced) that when there has been laying snow ,even for a few days ,that rabbits can be stimulated into breeding condition . The snow reflects the light hence gives the immpression of longer days .

or maybe it'd be worth collating a survey of feeding methods with the incidence of unseasonal seasons. Maybe Wellbeloved uses a source of protein from a hormone rich source? Just a thought.

Yes i have read 2 accounts of jills being in season , but i am pretty sure they will be indoor ferrets, its the outdoor ferrets i am interested in finding out why there in season

 

I am not sure about the food thing without looking into that & asking others what they think, both worth further investigation by someone imo
