Hello,
 
I have recently been given an Albino female Ferret who is apparently 2
years old and has not been de-sexed.  I have a neutered male ferret and
have been told that he will mate with her and "bring her out of heat".  Is
this possible?  I have only had the female ferret for a week but I believe
she is in heat already.  Should I get her to the vet to be speyed/injected
straight away or hope that my male will get her out of heat?
 
I look forward to your advice.
