I have a female ferret. She is about 8 months old. When I bought her they told me she had been spay, but I know other people who have bought ferrets from the same place and their ferrets were suppose to be altered but they were not. I have heard that if a ferret goes into heat and does not mate then she will die. This has realy scared me and I was wondering if someone could please tell me if there are any signs that would tell me if my baby was in heat. Thanks, Ginger, Pan, and Io [Posted in FML issue 0840]
