dh90 6 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Was expecting jill to have kits between wednesday nd friday (42 days since together) but nothings happened. Is there any tell tale signs of a phantom pregnancy. Starting to think this is whats happened, bit guttered to be honest, if it is when will she come back into heat and how long should i wait before trying again. also the hob i used is about 5-6 could he be too old or just unlucky?

wullieh 53 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 When she is near the end of her term she should be sleeping a bit more than normal. if she is not and dont have them tonight then i would think it has been a phantom preg, has she been ill prior too breeding or during pregnacy? this seems to be a common thing the last 2 yrs but mayb it just nature way of cutting down the number of ferrets being born.

dh90 6 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 well nothing happened again today so looking like a phantom. How long will it be til she comes back into heat and could it be the hob not producing the goods as he's about 6 year old? I would like to use the same hob but is it a lost cause? Quote Link to post
