This page has been provided to document the growth and progress of this adorable litter of nine kits. They were born the morning of November 22nd, 1998. Each day we will be publishing a new photo of the litter and saying a few words about their progress. Today the kits decided they were going to sneak through the holes in the cage they were in. Poor Sedona was in a panic when she couldn't retrieve her kits from outside the cage.
Today is also the day that they get their first taste of ferret food.
We'll be mixing just a little bit of ground and softened ferret chow into their normal turkey and KMR mixture. This will help them get a taste for the dry kibble later on. The photos show Julie and our son 'litter-box training' them just before their meal. Feeding time is becoming more of an ordeal now that they're starting to work on slightly more solid food. Every chance they get they nip at your fingers looking for that bowl of tasty turkey, KMR and finely ground ferret chow.
