A female ferret or Dam is very protective of her litter. Once the babies are born it is important not to disturb the nest for about 1 week. If the Jill feels threatened, or faced with danger, it may cause her to leave the nest and, in extreme cases, to cannibalize her young. Pick up and handle the kits at 3 weeks of age so that they become accustomed to humans. Baby ferrets are weaned from their mother at seven to nine weeks.
