Ferretertom Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I do but some people leave them together i would advise you to seperate them:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Ahhh - it depends. I've found that sisters can co-rear, where as other jills can fight (inless they have been together for a long, long time) when both broods come about. I wouldn't seperate them too early, there's no point and it's a hassel, but I'd say you should wait just before they start making nests (1 weeks into the pregnacy) Edited April 21, 2009 by Bleeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'd leave them together more so if they live together all year round one year i'd two jills give birth at the same day them the third one was a week behind and although you could see the size differnce in the litters theywhere fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferret_men Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Mine co rear will do this year no doubt i thinks its down to the ferrets mine are gentle and have a big run and lots of living space i dont know if that makes a diff but mine have never eaten their kits and dont fight so i guess its preferance but i think if they have enough space and are settled i would not move them.
