[johnharris 177]

[patterdalejoel 669]

bloody hell, good luck with 70 ferret kits, if you plan on keeping them all

[shabadoodoo 16]

You gonna have a lot of kits, they all need seperated mate

[Rake aboot 4,936]

You are f*****g joking aren`t you !!!!

 

You bred 7 jills !! what the hell for !?????? no wonder there are so many passed about,

 

I`ll give you constructive advise. Cull 90% of the kits and get your Hob a vesectomy.

 

I can`t believe you don`t see anything wrong with this like !

[David K 172]

Is there a shortage of ferrets in your area?

 

It does seem a little irresponsible to be producing so many kits that are going to have to be homed, some of which will end up abandoned or dumped in rescue centres.

 

Plus do you not think it may have been better to find out if you need to separate the jills with kits BEFORE you decided put a hob in with them all?

take some feeding all them mate,when kits are eating meat 8 kits and jill can do a rabbit a day can not feed them shit dry food mate and good luck you will need it mate

I have alway kept my ferret in hutches but last year decided to keep them in a comunal court. They live in an 8x6 shed with a 4 x 4 outside run. They dont have nest boxes but there is a heat lamp in there that warms up one corner if the temprature drops.

I have 7 gills in there all of who came into season togerther, I put one lucky hob in there and he has sorted them all out. Now for my question......... Can I leave all these gills in together while they have their kits or do I need to split them up into seperate hutches.

 

The hob has been removed now so I just have a shed full of pregnant gills

 

 

Any constructive advice greatly recieved

pack up with the ferrets and do flower arrangeing

A bit late asking for constructive advice now, all you can hope is that some of the jills haven't taken , if they all produce within a week of each other then basically you're going to have a hell of a lot of kits to feed & find homes for

 

I agree with the others about the whole fiasco being irresponsible at the very best

Aye leave then all together throw in the odd small child now and again and they will be fine mate

[Jamie m 668]

Unbelievable if you'd of asked advice prior you would of got the right advice what are you going to do with seventy odd kits ?????? Well I'm sure you will learn from your mistake , just feel for all those kits ,

[Fat-Ferret 857]

Its not advice you need, Its a kick in the knackers for being a plonker...

[BenjaminCadd 109]

Why would you breed 7 ferrets and not even know what to do with them? MONEY MONEY MONEY you cant tell me all the kits and Gills will get 100% attention throughout this. Got to feel sorry for the Ferrets!

On the plus side it sounds like the present ones are well looked after. My self I was getting stressed about having one unwanted litter I have landed my self with this year let alone 7

[max abell 198]

Sorry mate for being negative but breeding all 7 jills was not a sensible move even if you do find homes for all the kitts some of them are bound to end up in the wrong hands and end up in rescue centres if there lucky or even worse live a short life of neglect and misery

You should have asked advise 1st mate before breeding that lot

You've clearly read all the comments that everyone has wrote and hopefully you've took it on board for the furture. Howver what to do now?????

If its not to late, get them aborted. If you cant be arsed (this is what i'm expecting tbh), then either one or two of the jills will take upon themselves to kill all the kits or you can kill them yourself. But for fucks sake dont try and keep them or sell them on.
