Help With A Pregnant Jill.

[Ben Leighton 0]

Kept ferrets for a few years now but its the first time i've bred them. She took around July time and the hob has been separated since then. I read up that it takes about 42 days but it works out that it has been just over that. Could it be a phantom pregnancy as she hasn't put any weight on for a few weeks?

 

Any advice?

 

thanks in advance Ben.

She might no have taken

 

might of had them and ate them (did you see any blood under her tail near her time ?) or hear anything from the hutch ?

 

has the hob been used before he might be firing blanks ?

 

If she comes back in again dont breed her its too late to have kits and she will be tied to them for three months and missing out on ferreting

I'm in there everyday and there's never been any blood on her and I haven't heard anything. she has still got a big belly and teats but like a say its been over 42 days and maybe touching 50 days. The hob has been used before of a previous owner and no problems he did the job no bother.

 

Thanks for advice The One.

Are you counting from the last day the hob was in with her 6 weeks less a day ?.
