stubby 175 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 they are called kitts, babies are what we have Quote Link to post
sue 1 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 they are called kitts, babies are what we have you have babies stubby lol the obvious signs that a jill is expecting kits is weight gain ,but a phantom pregnancy they also gain weight ,i think you need to learn a little more about ferrets first before breeding them as its obvious you know little knowledge with the question your asking Quote Link to post
ulverston moocher 60 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 rather than critisise over what he called them wouldnt it serve better to give some advice you being a mod and all just a thought mate people arnt going to want to use this site if all there gonna get is grief every time they post I know that ferrets have kits but have refered to them as babys my self as have most. Look for weight gain a change in temprement can sometimes happen and she should go out of season if she is in with any outher ferrets mate your best to seperate them just in case and give her some extra food and handle her suporting her belly good luck pal.

stubby 175 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 just a thought mate people arnt going to want to use this site 1281 members on site think your wrong, I just love it, checking posts daily, I get to see lots of stupid/silly/sarcastic/offensive replies to posts, yet I leave what I class as a tongue in cheek reply, and get jumped on for "being a mod", rather than a member too Quote Link to post
knocker 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 i think you need to learn a little more about ferrets first before breeding them as its obvious you know little knowledge with the question your asking ffs, the guy asked a question so he could learn something which is the aim of forums like this! where did he say he was breeding ferrets ? he might possibly be asking so that when he does breed from his stock, he will know what to look for ! everyone has to learn, even you and i knew feck all once upon a time but with asking questions of those who claim to know, we learn stuff ! and stubby.......i wouldn't call you a member......you seem such a decent bloke :D Quote Link to post
pashley1988 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 well if she is expecting she would have come into season and come out again, she may start mothering the other ferrets if she is with other ferrets (i.e trying to drag them into the nest box) weight gain is another good indication and she will start to nesting aswell Quote Link to post
will.f11 24 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Probably the very first sign is her noticably going out of season within a few days. Then weight gain, then hair loss, then nest building, then birth. Good luck in your quest sir Quote Link to post

( had two last year too) a ferret is pregnant for aprox 42 days ... after this... if she's in kit.. you 'll have babies within days... or... she wont.. and her body will revert to her regular state ( ie for a false pregnancy) and she will likely come back into season...
