If your ferret was a first time mother, it may be due to inexperience and not realizing what she needed to care for her babies. Another reason, she may have been stressed by some external factors (such as not feeling secure in the area she's in) Some Jill's just don't make good mothers. I'm so sorry that this has happened. Having done so, she will probably go into season again to breed.
