Milk from the mother ferret.
No. Only mammals produce milk for their young. The only birds that produce milk are pigeons.
oxytocin and prolactin
If possible try to find someone with a nursing ferret that can be a foster-mother. Alternatively you need to emulate the ferret mothers milk that consists of 23.5% solids, which 25.5% protein, 34% fat and 16.2% carbohydrates - you might be able to use cat or dog milk substitute. According to the book "Complete guide to ferrets" by James McKay - he wrote that he raised ferrets from two weeks old on a mixture of evaporated milk and water (1:2), mixed with the yolk of an egg.
Yes but keep in mind that this is for mammals only, birds, fish, amphibians, and other animals like that do not produce milk
yes! Well not all birds, some of them such as pigeons do. But it is sort of gross, its not like a calf sucking the milk out of its mother, the mother bird hacks up the milk into the babys' mouth.
Because the Ferret looked just like your mother.
yesADD:Does the question mean "can you give milk to mother cats for them to drink?" or "do mother cats produce milk?"To the first, it is never a good idea to give a cat cow's milk; many cats are lactose intolerant and can get sick from drinking it. This could be very dangerous to the mother cat and her kittens.To the second, yes, healthy mother cats will produce milk for the kittens. If the mother is struggling or not producing enough, you need to get some Kitten Milk Replacer and bottles from your vet to help the kittens get enough food.
Yes........ But it will die
The action of the kittens' paws stimulates the mothers mammary glands to produce milk.
Cows produce calves. Calves, like all other baby mammals, rely on their mother's milk for nutrition. Thus, in order to satisfy this need, cows need to produce milk for their calves.
If a mother ferret perceives a danger or threat to her babies, yes she will eat them. By doing so, she will come into season again to mate and have another litter.
