Ferrets needs not only extra protein, but extra calories to nourish herself and the kits before and after delivery. Need 2 or 3 times more water than usual, and they will drink much more from a dish than a water bottle. A ferret that does not drink enough will not eat enough, and her milk supply will fail.
The Jill must be fed very well during her pregnancy and should be provided with a high quality protein (35%) diet, with sufficient fats (18% including 7% - 15% linoleic acid) and carbohydrates with a minimal grain or fiber for her needs. Nursing jills must eat and drink two or three times as much as usual for her and the kits nourishment. Supplement a nursing Jill's diet with high calorie nutritional supplements (Nutrical) and moist food 1 or 2 times a day to increase her food and fluid intake and stimulate milk production. Offer kits wet food at about 3 weeks to take the burden off the Jill
