what age can I mate my female ferret
Photoperiod. If the photoperiod (hours of light per day) is correct, jills will be sexually mature at 4 months, and hobs at 6 to 8 months. The natural reproductive cycle of ferrets starts as the hours of daylight gradually lengthen, soon after the New Year.
A whole female is called a jill, and a whole male is called a hob. If you get a hob, plan to have him fixed at about 6 months (or when the testes begin to develop). A jill should be fixed before she goes into her first heat; typically this happens the spring after her birth.
