Advice Needed

[wabbit slayer 16]

Two of my Jills will be giving bith soon, they are in a hutch with two other jills that are not pregnent. Will it be ok to leave them all together when they give birth or do I need to split them?

 

The two hobs were removed a bit ago and put into two other hutches to stop them fighting and killing any babies.

 

Any advice would be great.

seperate them

if all the jills living together get on fine, then as long as the hutch is big enough to house 4 adults and a possible 10 plus kitts, then go for it, the other two jills will act as surrogate mums and help out

take the two jills that arnt preganant out and leave the other to together they should have no problems feeding the kitts together i kept to jills together last year and dident have any problems these two ferrets are litter sisters and have always been kept together how did the two preganant jills get on before they were in kitt

If you've got the room and spare hutch separate them ,but they should get on fine if they have been together any length of time
