CFK27 0 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hey, my ferret gave birth around 2weeks ago and I've just checked them today, to find that thyr is only one baby... Is that normal? It's her first ever litter and also mine so I'm just trying to make sure... Thanks Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 They usually have more than one, but it certainly isn't unheard of. A mate of mine's had litters of 2 and 3 and the last litter I bred was 3. Don't worry about it. lf anything, be thankful she didn't have 12 or 13 which would eat you out of house and home. 1 Quote Link to post

Jarvis 277 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've had a litter of one before mate, Nothing to worry about . Quote Link to post
The one 8,474 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 A young jill will normally have a big litter and as they get older produce less and less , But as its the first time youve checked then you dont know if shes eaten them etc the only give away would of been if you heard loads of squeeking and now you dont mate Quote Link to post
