Hi Paty,
UNless ferrets are different in your part of the world, they do NOT cycle =
in and out of heat like cats! The are INDUCED OVULATORS-- which means they=
=
STAY in HEAT until they are bred.
This is why the injectible hormone or the jill jab is required. Allowing =
your ferret to remain in estrus will cause a condition called aplastic =
anemia to occur. Please consult with your veterinarians again. Are they =
indeed ferret knowledgeable?
Ulrike am I not correct?
