Rfv-sense: A female rabbit. Sometimes also used to describe a female ferret, weasel, or wombat.

I can't find it in online dictionaries. Of course, I am using dictionaries only as a hint; what is requested is attestation in use rather than referencing from dictionaries. Entered by a red-linked user in diff in 2009. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:55, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

It's in Webster's Third New International with the meaning "female ferret", and everything I can find on Google Books seems to refer to ferrets—even when my search string was «rabbit "the jills"». See [1], [2], [3]Angr 10:20, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
I changed the sense to "female ferret" and added the three cites, since that was the only meaning I could find cites for, as well as the meaning in the print dictionary. I'm striking this now. —Angr 15:24, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
