Jills are induced ovulators or ovulation is induced by mating. If mating does not occur, and the Jill (female ferret) remains in heat for long period of time, it can lead to serious illness.
If a Jill ferret is not mated a build up of estrogen may lead to a disorder know as estrogen-induced anemia, which can lead to leukemia and ultimate death
Domestic male ferrets are seasonal breeders and are sexually active between December and July. Females are polyestrous and have more than one estrous cycle between March and August. Male ferrets technically don't have periods, they become sexually active certain times of the year.
Rabbits are 'induced ovulators' which means they ovulate when stimulated by a male to do so. They have no cycle or heat-patterns which allows them to mate at any time of the year.
Ferrets are photo-receptive ovulators, meaning that they go into season when there is more than 12 hours of light in a day. Ferrets normally breed 2 times a year, In ferret farms where the light is manipulated they are bred about 3 times a year
Rabbits don't go into heat! They are induced ovulators which means they are fertile almost all the time
Rabbits don't go into heat, and they don't have menstrual cycles (periods): they're "induced ovulators," which means they ovulate in response to mating. An unspayed female rabbit can get pregnant any time, even on the day she's given birth.
The female ferret is an induced ovulator, meaning she must mate to terminate estrus. If she is not bred, she will remain in estrus which in time will result in excess estrogen in her body leading to a disorder know as estrogen-induced anemia, which can lead to leukemia and finally death.
Ferrets are only bred with other ferrets
The collective term for a group of ferrets is a "a business of ferrets" or "a cast of ferrets".
