young ferrets dying

[waidmann 105]

hi, i'm rearing my first litter of kits.

the jill had twelve from which three died in the first couple of weeks.now six weeks old and over the worst of it( i thought) another three have died they seem to become inactive for a day and then die.

the jill was without worms and fleas after paring. it seems to be the smaller ones which go.

any advice welcome.

Some times Mother nature just takes over, perhaps the kits were sickly , who knows it happens sadly & theres not a great deal you can do about it

if your feeding meat make sure its not going off as that can see the young ones die hope the rest are alright best of luck

a real shame as all are lovely ferrets, sandy black eyed, albino and pole cats.

hope it stops here!
