  1. glad someone had a good season, my biggest bag was 4 last season, but its not really the numbers i go for, not everyone has the permission with big numbers or even room to keep a spare freezer to keep the spare in for the spring/summer when feeding kits, people are in different situations,
  2. when you have kits, especally a large litter, feeding twice a day, kits and mother cost money, and as your feeding alot, the cage needs changing either everyday or every other day, shavings ect also costs money, so after 8 weeks a tena a kit, polecat or albino, doesnt seem too much to ask , no profit is being made, just recooping the money spent, my 8 kits are 5 weeks today i think 6 or 7 has theyr eyes open, and all are feeding well, the polecat i bred from was a big hob, the mother is a small albino, so i have large polecat kits and small polecat kits, only 2 albino's,1 jill 1 hob
  3. 4 weeks 5 days eyes opening,i find its noticable when you have kits or pups ect, that you see from early on , the strongest from the weakest,
  4. 4 weeks 4 days theyr eyes are still shut but all managing to get around the cage alright for food ect, a few people told me to give the mum milk, goats milk and soya milk i was told, its going straight through them, iv given them milk for the past couple of weeks, no wonder the 2 jills are loosing weight. i add egg to it ect, but when they shit, its like an explosion up the side of the cage, i feed twice a day, morning and night, but if i notice the food is all gone half way through the day i top it up, anymore tips ?

  6. always came accross as a real gentleman, really hope he recovers quick, the hunting life wont be the same without him ! + GET WELL SOON !
  7. my 8 kits eyes have still not opened 4 weeks 2 days, but everytime food is put in the cage , its very clear to see the strongest from the weakest . the 2 mother jills drag them back, but they still keep going back to the food, they just dont give up, theres 2 of the strongest i would say then 2 of medium quality and 4 normal kits, but fair play to the mum shes done a cracking job, anyones kits eyes opened yet at 4 weeks 2 days ? , i read a thread the other day someones kits eyes were starting to open at this period, hopfully in the next day or 2 theyr eyes will start to ope
