TOMO 26,595 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 well good luck to you for finding them homes,, my opinion is 7 weeks is a bit early for ferrets to leave the jill, i think folk tend to assosiate them with puppies,,,, but there far difrent,,, personly i feel 10 weeks is the earliest ,, and better from 12 - 14 week.,,, 2 Quote Link to post
diggermad 154 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 cheers tomo will just see how they go on eating and drinking around the 7 week mark i tend to seperate them for an hour or so then when a little older seperate them a little longer just to get them used to be without their mom for a while thanks for the advice cheers DM Quote Link to post
