Jamie m 668 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 You can pick um up now when the jills out the box ; ) Quote Link to post
David K 172 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) You should be able to work out when you can pick them up yourself, there is no specific time. Every jill would be different, I have found just gradually doing more with them every time you feed/check them makes the jill aware you are not a threat and so after a couple of weeks I was able to pick up kits without the jill being concerned. Nobody is going to be able to give you a specific age as there are too many other factors involved, so you will have to use your judgement on your jills temperament. You will be weaning them soon so you will have more direct contact with them and the jill will be less keen to have them hanging off her 24/7. Edited June 23, 2012 by David K Quote Link to post
