Hi again, i'm probably annoying people but I have found people are very helpful with info and like to be able to give my Pinky the best care. Some people have mentioned mastitis as red hard nipples and that the jill's milk will dry up. also have been told to look out for infectious and bulging eyes in the kits. Is there anything I can do to help these situations if they do arive or is it best to consult my vet if this happens? Thank you also for letting me know that Pinky wont eat the babies if I touch them. My Grandpa has ferrets for chasing rabbits out of their burrows and hardly handles them, it was him and my brother who told me that the jill will eat babies. I guess they might have if they weren't used to having people around? Thank you all again. will keep you posted on the babys' and Pinky's progress.
