Isn't it bad for the jills to breed too soon after the last litter?  I
thought that Zima had a litter earlier this year?
 
There has been a thread on the topic of breeding a jill more than once a
year in alt.pets.ferrets over the past few days, and the general consensus
seems to be that it isn't good for the jill or the kits.  Do you have
anything which shows otherwise?  Personally, I'd rather not breed more
than once a season (e.g. one litter per summer) but I'd be interested in
finding out more information on this topic for future reference.
