split or not

[n8wjr 0]

i have 2 jills 1 is 3 and 1 is last years young and my pals want some kits off the older 1 if i do chose to breed her should i split the other 1 from her??

[Guest eddie 1]

i have kept jills together while 1 or more have had kitts at same time

 

tho there has been times when i have had to seperate, becuase either the expecting jill either became uncomfy in with others, or the others become uncomfy around her

 

play it by ear so tae speak mate,

 

atb with whatever you decide

you normally find the second jill will play a auntie role and be a benefit , this has happened to my ferrets the last couple of years with no problems.

Older jills are normally fine because they have had a litter and can cope but if it was the younger jill they sometimes kill there first litter and you have to put it down to experaince ,but as dotty say play it by ear
