Not all ferrets, just female ferrets (jills) if not mated, they remain in estrus or in season, and the excess estrogen causes severe anemia eventually leading to death. An alternative is for an veterinarian to inject an hormone also called a "jill jab" to bring her out of estrus. At that point it would be wise to have her spayed.

advice from another contributor:
No they don't explode but some females need to mated or they got problems with their female bits but if you don't want her to mate you can put it in with a neutered hob.
