My Jill is now 4 days past her due date and i am starting to worry a bit I work away and not home till Friday should I take her to vets or is this normal good advice needed atb mark

if she goes much further i would be thinking a phantom? mine did it last season. dont disturb her and just listen out for squeeks from her nest box if theres still no sighn after a week over just have a sneaky look in the nest box, she may have seen her arse with something or other and eaten them (which unfortunatly does sometimes happen) or she may have had a phantom pregnancy.

These are mf two Jill's one on the left had her kits on April 20 the one on the right was due last weekend the one on the right has me worried (this photo was taken last Saturday ) I'm sure it's not a fantom pregnancy what do you think

Youll only know if its a phantom if she goes back to normall size and shell come into season again

Had a ferret go past her due date couple of years ago mate, kits had died inside her ended up way a section, if in doubt take her to the vets mate I only let mine go a day past then to vets, if she's way past could be dodgie get her to the vets they'll ultrasound her was only £6 odds for them to ultrasound mine.

I think if the ferret goes over 45 days the kits end up dieing.. How many kits did your jill have it looks big?

[mhopton 807]

She had 8 all doing really well starting to fur up my others are starting to open there eyes so got my self a new pen for them to run around in( cheers Ian ) of a old pal not seen for years who came out with me and my bro with the the dogs. I will post some photos up when I've moved them round to new pen.

Foxtails how's your kits buddy
