doddsy1970 9 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have weaned approximately 40 kits this year and the way its works for me is this.... The jills are removed from the court and placed in cages when they are 28 days gone, once they are in the cages they get a small amount of kitten milk along with rabbit, this continues right up until the kits are 5 or 6 weeks old and depending on their size are released into the court with all the other ferrets where they are fed daily on rabbit with a small amount of kitten milk. They are all healthy and fully independant by 8 weeks which is the minimum i let them go. I have found that this diet gives them nice shiney coats and good muscle tone. On the same subject i have brought 6 new kits this season and without exception all have been in lesser condition (I dont mean a bad condition just not of the same quality mine are) and the reason i believe is becasue they were all fed on only biscuit.

Kay 3,709 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Dodsey how soon after you remove the jills do they come back into season ? Quote Link to post
doddsy1970 9 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Dodsey how soon after you remove the jills do they come back into season ? They dont. I think it is because they are still "mothering" them and there are always kits running free. They dont care if they are their kits or not they will still clean and care for them. Quote Link to post
