Same here, My Jill has just had her first kits Shes killed 12 only got 2 left.

I had 3 left upto a few days ago she killed the other one when it was 2 weeks old. So fingers crossed she keeps these two.

Its crap aint it when your watching them die in front of you and theres bugger all you can do.

 

Good luck

And no doubt your sticking your fingers in there trying to sort them out,get away from them or you won't have any.

have had four litters over 2 years, never had a still born, never had any eaten.

when the ferrets kill the young by lying on them or something like that

 

what do you do ..... take them yourself....or will she just eat them or what

 

cheers adzi

Just leave the jill to deal with it all, if you keep going in there and disturbing them she will get stressed out and more may end up dead

Ad quite a few litters over the years and luckerly good survival rates

If we decide we want to have a look how the kitts are doing we open the

front of the cage as normal not the sleeping compartment pick the jill up and

pet her a bit my daughter does this most days anyway then put her in a carrying

box for a couple of mins whilst we av a quick look shut the sleeping bit and then

let jill out of box pet her some more and then put her back in the cage never had

any probs regarding stressed out jills TOUCH WOOD
