Baby ferrets are weaned from six to eight weeks. It is best to leave them as long as possible with the mother The female ferret called a "Dam" does all the rearing of the babies that are called "kits". She has a litter of 6-8 young (kits), 42 days after mating. The female nurses and cares for the young, the male has no role in raising the kits. The young are born blind, deaf and helpless and covered with a fine white fur, totally dependent on their mother for about three weeks. Kits weight at birth five to fifteen grams. About 3 weeks of age, the kits will began to eat solid food, while continuing to nurse. Their hearing develops and eyes are opened at about 4 weeks. Kits are mature enough to be weaned at about 6 - 8 weeks and leave the mother. Most Dam's (mom ferret) are very good mothers and will train their babies when it's time to start eating solid food, she will drag them to the food bowl, and will litter train them as well.

What do you do if you find a baby ferret?
If you find a baby ferret in the wild, the best thing you can do is leave it alone, its mother may be nearby, if you touch or pick up the baby you might as well take it to your nearest animal shelter or vet because the mother ferret will smell your scent on the baby and possibly abandon it. It is unlikely that u will ever find yourself in this situation in the wild. If you run across a baby ferret and decide a rescue, look closely at the babies ears, if they have little green dots near the edges they are domestic ferrets, all domestic ferrets are tagged some way and are spayed or nuerdered, since it is ilegal to breed ferrets without a license.
