[dougie_s410k 1]

ok ive just seperated my jill and although she is in top nick im wondering if theres anything that you personally like to give them or do to keep them in optimum nutrition running upto her giving birth?

Just plenty of decent food , just put in as much as she will eat

Rabbit, pigeons, hare, pheasent, crows (freeze first), complete ferret food, as a last resort, or in the summer when their is flys about.

I usually feed complete food during the day and whole carcasses in the evening and take it out again first thing in the morning, this cuts flys down.

 

Good luck.

so pretty much what im doing at the moment then , i try and give them as much natural food as i possibly can, bloody flies around at the moment as the weather is nice so im doing as mentioned above and feeding carcasses over night

I find in the last week of lactation a bowl of crushed dry food mixed with lactol kitten milk helps the jill no end, also this is a good way to help wean the kits. let them have it at about 3 weeks old and onwards for a few weeks with their normal meat based food.

 

you can buy lactol from any pet shop and just mix it at a little less strengh than you would for kittens, pour it on the powered dry food a make a watery porridge. this also helps bring the nursing jill back up to her former self

So, not bread and milk then
