Hi Sukie,
Scary that a teacher is giving out such bad info.
Yes, intact females that come into heat and are not
bred and stay in a long day photoperiod stay in heat.
This leads to estrogen induced bone marrow toxicity.
The anemia and thrombocytopenia leads to death in
30 to 50% of the untreated jills.
2 additional articles would included:
1) Aplastic anemia associated with estrus in pet ferrets.
JAVMA 178:1293-1294, 1981 by Kociba GJ and Caputo CA.
2) Estrogen-induced bone marrow depression in ferrets.
AM J VET RES Vol 44 No 4 April 1983 p657-660 by
Bernard SL, Leathers CW, Brobst DF, and Gorham JR.
Hope that clears things up,
Jerry
