Some jills are extremely tolerant mothers, while others will not accept another Jill in the same cage during the birth process. It would be best to separate them into separate cages about seven to ten days before the litter is due. This will give her time to nest, to feel comfortable and secure.
After birth, 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.
You can keep pregnant ferrets together up until a week prior to birth. Most pregnant ferrets need to be in solitude a week prior to birth for preparation of her nest in a dark quiet secure area.
