A ferrets gestation period is about 42 days or 6 weeks. After the Jill is bred and the vulva decreases, she may have a thick mucous discharge when pregnant. If the discharge is yellow or brownish and/or foul smelling, it may be a indicate an infection and she should be taken to the veterinarian as soon as possible

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.

Is it okay to bathe your ferret more than average?

No it is not. A lot of the ferrets scent comes from oil produced by its skin. Bathing the ferret too often causes the skin to produce more oil to replace the oil it lost from being washed. The more you bathe your ferret, the more oil their skin produces, the more they smell. A ferret should only be bathe 2-3 times a year with special ferret shampoo.

What happens when a female ferret has a phantom pregnancy?

When female ferret (Jill) comes into heat or estrus, the physical act of mating will induce ovulation. To avoid an unwanted pregnancy, instead of mating with a hob, a hoblet can be used instead. The Hoblet is a vasectomized hob (not castrated) that has his tubes cut that transport the sperm to the testicles, and is still able to perform the physical mating process. The physical act of mating induces ovulation in the Jill and brings her out of estrus. She will have a phantom or false pregnancy that will last for the same length of time as a normal pregnancy (40 - 44 days) and will display symptoms of being pregnant After that length of time, she will probably come in season again. Jills that have a phantom or false pregnancy will put on weight, her nipples will enlarge and may produce milk. Without babies, the jills behavoir may mother the other ferrets or her owner or dragging her toys to the nest Sometimes a female ferret with babies is unable raise her litter due to illness or injury and a female ferret with a phantom pregnancy can be used to foster and nurse her kits. Some breeders will try to have two female ferrets giving birth around the same time, in case one Jill has a problem nursing, the other Jill can foster her kits.
