Can you leave another female ferret with a Jill that has just had kits?
Some jills are extremely tolerant mothers, while others will not accept another Jill in the same cage. It would be best to separate them into separate cages. Depending on the Jill's individual personality, once the kits are eating solids and self-sufficient, you may be able to mix families. But there maybe some jills that will not be able to tolerate each other; these must be kept separately. Advice from another contributor: sometimes say if the Jill you are leaving with the mother is old. but when i tried that because my ferret had babies and ignored them and we put it with the other Jill who had kits and it killed them instantly, i wouldn't advise it because the mother can become very distressed that the kits and in danger as well.

How do you know if your ferret is feeding her kits?
After the kits are born, they should suckle right away and stay attached to the nipples most of the time. If the kits are not receiving enough milk they will continuously peep. Symptoms of Jill's not feeding her kits - if her mammary glands are hard, swollen, discolored, or seem to be tender, she need to the veterinarian immediately. The kits will die within three day if the Jill doesn't have milk or not enough milk. It is very important to monitor the kits, they should gain weight daily, tripling in size in 10 days. A kit not getting enough nourishment will lose the desire to suckle, chills and eventually die. It is very important that the mother ferret receives a good high protein diet in order to produce enough milk to feed her kits. You need to have a another mother ferret that can foster the kits if your Jill is unable to feed them.
