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.
