Really depends on how aggressive she is. If she really means business when she attacks other ferrets (drawing blood), then could be difficult to get her settled in with others, she might just be happier on her own. It might be that she doesn't get on with adult ferrets, but would accept young kits and live happily with those. Jills can be funny characters, so it's trial and error really. I have a ferret that will viciously attack a strange ferret, but she happily lives with 4 others, as found that she got on with young kits just fine. Atb if you choose to get her.

Do you mean working? I have a jill at present and have one in the past neither would tolerate another ferret being to ground along side them hobs or jills she would fight and drive them out of a warren and then continue to work alone with success

the present jill was good enough to breed from and had only 2 jills (she was 6yrs old when bred) a kitt(now 3yrs old) is still with her in the hutch and will work alongside her mother in a warren, but the mother still wont tolerate any other ferret to ground

So my honest answer based on experience is no you wont change her if shes as good as you say just let her work alone if thats how she wants to?
