maxlucy 43 0 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 shes a good jill never bites just don't want her to kill them thanks Quote Link to post
bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 last year i helped my jill break the sacks-she had 10-they all lived- depends on the nature of the ferret Quote Link to post
bigbailey 90 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Luckily one of jills drags my hand in the nest from day 1 so I get contact straight away, but would leave well alone until you think the Jill is ready and not much chance of the jill killing them alb Quote Link to post
foxtails 272 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 i didnt touch mine for a few days , just give her a chance to be with them alone, she;l be fine as long as she knows you after a few days but not in the first couple of days, just my oppinion! just found 1 of my kits dead, gutted!
