Jill coming back into season after litter.

[Aussie Whip 3,827]

My jill seems to be looking like she is coming into season again. I weaned the litter at 6 weeks as she is pretty small and her first breeding. The weather has been weird and I've been hearing of two litters per jill. Should I breed her again or will she come off by herself. It seems a bit much for her to have a second litter.

It's happened to me many times she will be OK mate let it take it's course just keep her clean

Can’t see the need to breed when in season, just keep hutch clean so no infection while she’s swollen

Happens all the time now with the longer summers jills are coming into season 4/5 times best running them with a snipped hob

I've heard people getting away not breeding jills and others losing them. I do keep the cages and beds clean so I'll give it a go. I have only kept hobs for the last 10 years up until now and bred the jills years ago just in case.

if you have your jills jabbed 6 weeks later they will also come back into season

I've been trying to find a vet that will do a vasectomy on one of my males, they don't even understand the reason and know nothing about ferrets.

I’ve only bred once from mine, last year, I’ve had jills up until 9 years Of age , I’ve one now 8 or 9, they loose a lot of hair nearly bold sometimes but once come out of season they grow it back, had ferrets on and off 30 odd years
