jills

Jackrabbit does, alternatively

Jills is the plural of jill, which names a female ferret or, less commonly, other small female animals like donkeys.

The term pairs with jack, the corresponding male designation.

In bartending, a jill is a small measuring cup, typically holding 1.5 ounces, used for portioning spirits—half the size of a jack.

The word appears in the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill," though that Jill is a proper name.
