darren m Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 congrats mate all i,m doing is the poo corner daily , stay well away from the nest for the next 2 weeks . if you have to have a peek , then dont touch the kitts or bedding , a mate enticed the jill out of the nest ( just the once ) at feeding time with some ferretone so we could have a quick count , worked a treat . i,m feeding my jill on dried JWB 40% protein , raw chicken , bits of rabbit and lactol milk . with 14 kitts she needs all the help she can get B) .

flash Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 was just looking out of the patio window and have just watched three of the kits trying to make a great escape, and then got dragged back in by trinny, was quite funny to watch, they are so cute. and quite light in colour. cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Light as in white or light as in silver? I know it is a bit early to tell just now. They must have looked so cute. Glad to see they are trying to escape from Mum. /Mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Its too early to tell what colour they will be, they all get light white covering's firstly regardless of colour. Give it a week or 2 and you will definately be able to tell which are albino's and which are other colours. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferretboy111 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 need to line up new homes for mine . what to do ---- give away or sell , to try and get some food costs et c back .. You shouldnt of bred then if that is the case. Im with the Cambridge ferret welfare and rescue society and we get in 2-300 rescue ferrets in a year from people like youself who breeds ferrets with no homes for them. If in doubt, dont breed!! There are 3 other ways of taking a jill out of season. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 i made usre i could rehome them before i decided to breed. oh and just been out and there were at least 6 walking round the hutch trying to find mum, but i think there may be more.lol cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thats the way to do it flash! Get em homed before they are born, or be prepared to look after them untill they are. The mother seems layed back enough mate, id just take a good long look and count them. My jill last year was layed back so when she was drinking goats milk i counted them all.

Madcowz Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I think Darren's jill was pregnant when he got her. Pretty sure she was a rescue herself, so the kits were not planned by him. Flash, how are my ferts doing? Love the pic you sent by MMS last night, tiny little things. Pocket sized! :-) /mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 the problem is she got them almost wrapped up in a towel as the nest, so it may disturb them if i try and look, i think ill give it time before i do. whats ur opinion on letting her havea quick run around the garden, to give her a break. maybe then i can have a look. cheers flash ps the garden in ferret proof.

darren m Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 ferret boy 111 what do you mean people like me , i think you,ve got the wrong end of the stick . right to put you straight , i did not breed the jill . i rescued her from the stables she was hungry and covered in ticks . the RSPCA would not take her etc , etc , . i took her home and phoned Carl from the Radcliffe ferret rescue , he came to my house de-ticked her , sprayed her , and talked me into keeping her . at that time shes was in season ( vulva swollen ) , 2 days later she was out of season , i mentioned this to the ferret rescue , and came to the conclusion that she had come out of season because i had kept her in her temporay cage in the garage ( less daylight ) . any way 2 weeks later she had 14 kitts . i phone carl at the ferret rescue whooops was his reply , no ones fault , tried to find its owner , but no takers , so i became the ferret rescue , £100 on a cage transport box £15 several bags of JWB shavings paper hay chicken mince rabbit ( free ) lactol milk . and thats just for her , the weaning starts soon , i,m even coverting a spare shed to house them and thats the story so far .
