The one 8,483 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Dont you know anybody with another litter you can try fostering them onto ??? Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 unless you can devote ALL YOUR TIME, to the kitts for the next two weeks, or find someone who can, or has a jill with a small litter that may foster them onto, I'd say it would be better to take them to a rescue centre in the hope they can raise them, I once took a month off work, to hand rear 15 baby budgies, ranging from 5 days to 2 weeks old, it was bloody hard, feeds every 2 hours, 24hrs a day, plus cleaning, plus getting a feed right, that they would take, without getting the shits, ended up with a mixture of rusks, canary egg food, and baby milk, only lost one out of the 15, and had a story written about it in the cage & aviary, never again, but I had the tamest budgies ever Quote Link to post

Read a book before you get any more ferrets. :thumbdown: Quote Link to post
