She will soon get sick of them if 11 torture her for milk when they are stronger. I had a Jill that ended up eating 5 out 7 of her young when I thought they were in the safe zone. I had another die after he got his head out and ate a piece of Lino cover I had sheltering the cage. Ferrets don't have good digestive systems for foreign objects. If that was a dog it would of passed it through. Expand Separate them early? How early? Quote Link to post
Winterwitch 15 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 All 11 present and correct. Mum is an absolute trooper. Started them on solids, kitten milk mixed with cat food or soaked kibble. Will try them on some minced up rabbit this weekend. Shes holding on in there, I’m just giving her extra meat and food so she’s ticking along. 2 Quote Link to post

The one 8,477 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 We i had a load of kits and the jill was loosing condition i would take her out during the day and mine would eat two whole gutted rabbits a day and they got the chance of a feed from the jill at night if she let them , but as they get older look at there nails they can make a mess of the jill teats area if they have raggy nails 1 Quote Link to post
Compo21 27 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 My Jill dropped 11 kits 5-6 days ago now down to 8 but she is skinny aswell given the kits everything she’s got i’ve been given her two day old chicks (ideal this time of year due to the flies) each day, aswell as biscuits and then small portion meat aswell each day change it between mince beef/pigeon/chicken wings Quote Link to post

Expand exactly how can a carnivore have too much meat? surely meat/whole prey is better for them than any kibble ? This time of year I limit meat due to the flies but winter they get whole carcasses 1 Quote Link to post

Worst thing nest of flies .. Expand There is f**k all meat on a day old chick it’s useless for a nursing Jill. Just feed smaller amounts of meat more times through the day and put a frozen piece in at night. Clean out in the morning and start the process again ... it’s simple really ........ 2 Quote Link to post
