will.f11 24 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi all. My ferret kits are a month this saturday. Would you think it would be ok to give the jill half an hour break away from them whilst I handle them? Quote Link to post

Would you think it would be ok to give the jill half an hour break away from them whilst I handle them? Just take 1 away at a time she will probably go frantic if you remove them all for that length off time Quote Link to post
will.f11 24 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Ok. She is really good about it so would she be ok with 2 at a time do you think? Quote Link to post
sue 1 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 i have always gone and sat in the ferret court next to the kits and ive always taken food or a whisked egg for mum and let her get comfortable with you being there before picking the kits up ,she soon gets used to you being there and as the kits get older they get used to you and nibble on you so dont do what my daughter did once when one of my litters was about 5 weeks old ,she went in to play with them with bare feet there was quite a few screams as they all grabbed her toes lol Quote Link to post
The one 8,598 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Feed the jill and take them out give them a check over you wont be able to do much with them there eyes will barely be open .Give them another week or two and they have started nipping get them out every night and let them nip you and push your finger into there mouths instead of pulling away Quote Link to post
