hi, just had some kits born this morning, all looks well and the mother is looking after them well (its her first time, and mine!). Just wondering how many weeks is it before they are ready to leave the mother and be sold. also any tips for a first timer.

should be ready to take away from the mother at about 7,687,453 weeks

 

 

but seriously at 6 weeks they can be taken away but i'd say 8/10 is best,you will be lucky to avoid an earhole bashing for this...

Aye 8 weeks, eating meat and biscuit and drinking from bowls and bottles, ensures a pretty good start in life.

Don`t be in a hurry,, just to get some CASH!!,, the ferrets welfare comes first.. 8/10 weeks,, independant from the mother and in good health,, eating and drinking well, and in good shape, well handled as well,,,

Wait till there three weeks old and give them some rabbit , then when there spilling out the nest box you can count them and sex them and see what youve got ,Then run them on till eight to ten weeks and see if you can sell them when there hundreds on offer mate .Good luck
