from my two litters this year i fed the polecat litter on a mix of day old chicks kitten milk james wel dry food and fish (trout,makrel etc) and my albino litter on the same minus the kitten milk and my poley jills ive kept are bigger than the biggest hob from my albino litter both litter's had the same father as he was the only hob i could get hold of at the time and he was tiny .

 

a few years back i took a litter from a silver mitt jill she was quite a small jill the male was a small polecat she had 14 kits 8 mitts and the rest poley who i rased on james wel and cat milk and water with no meat or that bye the time the males were 8 weeks they were larger in size than the biggest adult male's ive had whitch is quite big they were bigger than my jack russel pup who was 9 weeks at the time and she raised the lot her self so i think the milk done more good than bad but i suppose it would depend what your after in a ferret i prefer my jill's small and aint that all keen on large hobs but each to there own i suppose .

She has had unicillin jabs for nearly a week, she has gone from not eating and moving to bouncing about in her hutch , also the discharge has stopped im not a vet but i kept my finger's crossed and done the best i could for her , she is now looking a lot better, nothing different with the food just a little run down i think the jab's have fetched her arournd

i wouldnt say she's an old ferret mate at 4, my oldest one now is near 6, dry food for the summer months is best if you cant get in to change any decaying meat,it attracts flies!

as for normal household milk use ive used in the past as at 9pm on a sunday you'd be lucky to find this pet milk at hand, and its had no affect, best to be sorted by a vet as soon as you notice any problems with your ferret

in 17 years of ferreting ive lost two ferrets, one to phumonia, and the other through last years heat wave

good luck with her mate
