What do you do if your ferret is nursing kits and has come back in heat?

Some jills with small litters will come in heat while still nursing the kits. To bring her out of heat she will either need a hormone injection or Jill jab from the veterinarian or mate her with a sterile male or vasectomised male - a hoblet. Injectable hormones are given 10 days or more after the swollen vulva is first noticed to end estrus, they will not work any earlier.
To prevent a ferret from coming into heat - They need to be kept in dark areas away from artificial and natural lighting. Ferrets breeding season is controlled by photoperiod which means the length of day light time.When a ferret is exposed to light in a longer period than in the dark it causes them to come into heat. Ferrets that live indoors are exposed to artificial lighting which can cause them to come into season anytime of the year. Reducing photoperiod (any lighting, natural or artificial your ferret is exposed to) to 8 hours of light prevents most jills from coming into heat

Why does your altered female ferret have an enlarged vulva?
There are several possible causes. The only person who can tell you for sure is a vet. Please take you ferret to a vet as soon as possible as a swollen vulva can be the sign of serious problems. I have put some possible causes below The ferret is in heat - The female ferret has come into heat. She will need to be bred or given a special vaccination to bring her back out of heat. A female ferret will not come out of heat by herself and remaining in heat is very dangerous. Staying in heat can cause her to develop aplastic anaemia which can be fatal. A partial spay - If the female was spayed at a very young age she may have what is called an incomplete or partial spay. This is rare but can occur when a female is spayed before she is fully grown. Adrenal disease - If your ferret is also starting to lose fur (beginning at her tail and spreading towards her body) it is a sign that she may have adrenal disease. She will need medical treatment as soon as possible. All of the above require immediate medical attention.

What is the gestation for ferret?
The length of the Jill (female ferret) season is until she mates, otherwise if she will stays in heat and does not mate, she will eventually die.Female Ferret "Jills" are "seasonally polyestrous" which means they have multiple heat cycles, in spring and summer.The ferret is a photoreceptive breeder. Breeding season is triggered by photoperiod, the length of daylight hours, it's when there is more daylight than night or the ratio of daylight hours to night time hours to cause physical changes in their bodies. The Jill or females ferret, if not bred, will go into a prolonged heat, or estrus cycle that can last up to six months, causing high estrogen level that will result in a hormonally induced anemia that can be deadly. Ferret breeders can control a Jill's estrus periods by manipulating light cycles, breeding whenever she comes in heat, or artificially ending an estrus with injectable hormones.
