I was just wondering myself. My mate has bred his and I was just wondering what age are the kits ready to leave their mother? Regards, BP.

 

 

Be better saying twelve weeks when i go to pick a kit i like to see something that looks like a young ferret no a big mouse which they do if folk try to get rid of them at 5/6 weeks

Kits really need to stay with their littermates and dam through at least 10 weeks. They aren't mature enough mentally and emotionally for a new home until then. There is nothing sadder than listening to a 6-8 week kit crying for his mother. If someone isn't willing to keep them that long, feed and socialize them properly, then they shouldn't have bred the litter.
