best bedding for jill about to give birth

[sneakysod 4]

was just wondering wha the bast stuff to use is as havent had ferrets long more of a lamping man my self but guna give it ago this season

i just put straw in with mine i found that the jill would scrape all the wood shaving into the bed as well and make a nest with both the straw and wood shavings .

Definitely straw. Hay is too hot and kits can get tangled in it, shavings aren't warm enough and the jill can't hide right away in them, and are usually too dusty, ditto sawdust, shredded paper can get too damp and soggy: jills like to make a nest right inside a pile of straw so you can't see into it at all: like a ball of straw with a nest in the middle. Don't disturb the nest for at least a fortnight after she's had them, especially if its a first time mother.

2 or 3 inches of shavings and then an old fleece on top, lid off the sleeping compartment in the summer then back on again in the winter

if they are late breeds as they are this time of year then i would and do use hamster beding in there as well just to keep the new born kits wormer

A good layer of shavings soaks up all the waste and a jill cant loose a kit in it .
