skeletally ferrets are fully grown by 18weeks note fully grown but not mature they will still put weight on from muscle and coat.

I work mine in smaller burys with and experianced ferret at around 8months then over there first season i put them into bigger and bigger burys they soon get the hang of it sometimes i take all the kits out to a bury down the road its a 5 holer so just the right size i put my best gill through to bolt anything in there then when i know its empty i enter the kits all at once and just sit with them and they love it they go mad chasing each other poping in and out all over the place i find at 3/4 months old its good just to let them get to gripps with empty burys the smells and have fun trying to round them up is another story so if you try it take a rabbit with you haha
