ferretman Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 i have always been told to leave them till the kits are older i no it sounds bad but that is wotjames mekay says in his book aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 my jills have had there kits about 2 weeks ago and their all covered in fleas.the bottle of flea stuff ive got says not to use while theyve got young.so i was wondering what everyone else does in this situation? yes, we make sure our pregnant jill aint got flea's, before she has her kitts, clean hutch etc, the kitts can only have got them from her, so a lesson to be learned here would be, you need to take more time in future with your ferret husbandry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
