Ferret is looped

[shabadoodoo 16]

Has anyone experienced a Jill going mental after having kits?? Mine been ok just a bit nippy with her having the young, but today I went into check and she was going mad jumping up trying to get my hands hissing, she never ever been like this not even with her last litter. So just wondered if anyone else been in the same boat

Aye mine did the same kits nearly five weeks old and she's no just as bad but you have to watch her .

I've had ferrets since I can remember and this has never happened before , she not bothered about me touching the kits just when I go to pick her up

I got one that does it every summer, over the other jills, thinks she is their mum, spends all day dragging them into the next box and trying to 'protect' them by going for you, she is mad as a box of frogs.

Same hear our best jill dropped a few days ago she will let my niece in the cage but anyone else goes near it and she goes mad trying to warn them off she is normaly as gentle as a lamb and never bitten anyone she is just doing what a mother tends to do and protect her young it's nothing to worry about she will be less protective as the kitts get older
