kits biting each other

[Kay 3,709]

Ferrets do eat each other , adults & kits had it happen twice here , food available both times, i just put it down to them knowing something i didnt

oh God how awful Kay, where they old kits though?

 

The first time it happened it was an older hob about 6 he had been eaten and the skin pulled off the flesh , his coat was inside out , second time was a hob again round about 8 weeks old , neither ferrets had been sick & there was food in the cages both times , all that was left off the second hob was his middle & back legs . the kit was in with a jill kit & a slightly older hob

 

I have no idea why or how it happened both times but distressing when you open the door & find a half eaten ferret

I had a nice silver jill kitt in the court along with 4 polecat kitts, castrated hob and three jills, gave them some ferret paste today, and couldent see the silver kitt, went inside the court, searched everywhere for her, lifted up every sleeping box, checking underneath, but she was nowhere to be seen, started thinking she'd been eaten, as the court has two locks and two doors to get through, so ruled out theft, plus theres kitts in unlocked cages outside,

was really baffled

 

started sorting out all there nights food,

 

 

only to remember, I had given the kitt to rolfe 2 days ago
