jultaylor1972 2 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've just taken my albino jill to Woodgas to be lined with his black eyed white, I'm really suprised she's come into season this early in the year. Are anyone elses jills in season yet? I cant wait to see what colour kits she has!! Quote Link to post
JordKil 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I already have two litters lol. Mine came in really really early. Plus one has already had a phantom. Some of the kits are 3 weeks and a few days old. ATB Jordan Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 most of mine came into season bout two weeks back, left with the two snipped hobs, fingers crossed the op's worked and no kitts for me this year Quote Link to post
The one 8,486 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Two of mine came in about xmas a real pain in the ass as the hobs teste's hadn't dropped and they weren't interested in them Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Mine seem to be just coming into season the last week or so................ Quote Link to post
jultaylor1972 2 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Why are peoples jills coming into season so soon? Is it the norm for this to happen sometimes? Has it got something to do with climate change etc? Its got me well puzzled Just want to know peoples thoughts? Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Mines not come into season yet , but commanche mentioned something interesting about laying snow possibly making a difference & i looked up some more indeapth stuff about photoperiod & if i can find the peice i will post it. It was explaining that its to do with reflection , i noticed this year the first year we have had show lay for any length of time how much lighter it apperared , so maybe its a possibility Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,412 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 3 week old kits already feck me. mine never come in season til around end of april may, in fact my hobs are still in with the jills. the hobs have droped, and keep trying the jills but get knowhere. i bet there frustrated Quote Link to post
The one 8,486 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 All mine are now out of season and the hobs are in yesterday i had to take my smallest jill out from one hutch and put her in another one as my complete hob was bumming her Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I remember commanche saying something about rabbits & snow on here a few months back & couldnt see why it cant also be possible with the extra light that laying snow creates can alter the ferrets season I have no idea if this therey has been researched properly in some kind of controlled tests , but i seriously think it could be a possibility why there seasons seem to have started early in some areas I was amazed at how much more light the snow gave off as this is the first year i can remember it laying for over a week here , coupled with the full moon it didnt appear to go dark a couple of nights Quote Link to post
ferretmaniac 5 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nah my jill aint come into season yet. I dont even know the signs of it either, I will look up though! Quote Link to post
