make sure there totally independent of there mother .. feeding & not just huddled together .. they should ideally be tazzing about all over the place playing & climbing.. imo 6 weeks is to young

 

if you take the jill out of the cage how do the kits react .. are they not bothered or do they start whinging

 

The jill does far more than just feed them & clean them she disciplines them as well & i think kits removed to soon simply seek comfort of there siblings which can be ear sucking

 

I think there to young to be homed at the moment if there eyes have only been open 2 days

Its hard to put an age on it.. they all develop at differnt rates but observing them will give you a far better idea of when you think there ready to go ... good luck with them

By 8 weeks they should ok to go

one thing i was told by a game keeper to get the best out of your offspring never knowing if you might want to trace the line it 8 wks is ok 10 wks is better but 12 weeks even better this give the jill time to sort them out and also lets you know they used to human contact.

[chimp 299]

6 - 8 weeks depending if they are feeding well.

 

 

 

wullieh are you a gamekeeper now because a keeper once spoke to you ?

One of the litters I bred this year where a bit slow weaning,didn't start giving them homes till they were 7-8 weeks.Yet the other litter I have would've been ready at 5-6 weeks,the best way to tell imo is to observe their behaviour and how independant they are.

Though I wouldn't rehome a kitt until they're at least 6 weeks

[The one 8,486]

Id be looking for them feeding themselves by 6 weeks then taking the jill out and running then on till there 8 weeks before rehoming them

[patdahat 41]

thank's for all the info, ill have them for a few week's yet so, no panic.
