Good video mate one thing I do is all Jill’s get lactose free milk once they’ve been bred and all kits once weaned, I find all kits will eat meat and drink the milk from 3 weeks and 3 day and I find non get rickets but all mine get is raw diet never any kibble of any type. Great work keep it going regards from Sydney

worth a read and concideration - holisticferret60.proboards.com/thread/3070/goat-milk As mentioned above, lactose is the main type of carb in mammal’s milk, and as such, goat’s milk contains lactose as well (2Trusted Source). However, its lactose content is lower than that of cow’s milk. Goat’s milk is comprised of about 4.20% lactose, whereas cow’s milk contains almost 5% (1Trusted Source). Yet, despite its lactose content, anecdotal evidence suggests that people with mild lactose intolerance seem to be able to tolerate goat’s milk. While there’s no scientific research to support this, scientists believe that another reason why some people tolerate goat’s milk better - aside from its lower lactose content - is because it’s easier to digest. Fat molecules in goat’s milk are smaller when compared with those in cow’s milk. This means that goat’s milk is easily digested by those with a compromised digestive system - as is the case for people with lactose intolerance (1Trusted Source). Lastly, if you’re interested in goat’s milk as a cow’s milk substitute due to a casein allergy, it’s important to note that a large number of people with cow’s milk allergy usually react to goat’s milk as well (5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source). This is because cows and goats belong to the Bovidae family of ruminants. Thus, their proteins are structurally similar (7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source).
Great video, so much info to take in. If you get stuck for names, my kids would be over the moon to have ferrets named after them. Jazz for a girl Nico for a boy Looking forward to the car getting fixed and the ferrets can get back out to work and burn off all that excellent diet you feed them. Lots of love to you all. Take care from the UK ❤❤❤

Great video Doug. Am going to breed one mine for the first time this season from a buck I got from Algie. Was just wondering if breeding a jill in their first heat is ok, but I wouldn’t imagine so. Cheers

For colder countries a good bedding is shredded newspaper, make sure it's shredded though because you don't want your ferrets learning to read and then becoming one of those social justice warriors. They will be setting up rabbit refuges and handing out free lettuce in no time otherwise 😆

Paper is good too, plenty of other good bedding you can use, wood chips is just what I like particularly in summer it's a bit cooler

That spike is a beauty Doug nice and long in the body and legs a nose like mister squiggle ; he’s got the lot ; you talk of prey drive and I’ve seen a lot of ferrets that will work for a day or two but try and work them five days a week and they’ll come up short it’s good that most people only want them as weekend ferrets anyway and running your ferrets on wood chips I’ve be doing that for a while now no wire under feet just wood chips and clean out the toilet corners every week it keeps them squeaky clean and the smell down it’s the best way I’ve kept them ; if you haven’t seen Simon whiteheads videos on breeding ferrets you should have a look he’s pretty good you’re doing a good job there Doug all the breeders should start to get the heads together and swap the gene pool because it is becoming inbred

And as far as in breading as close as you want to get is grandfather to granddaughter grandmother to grandson and you’d only do that to fix the line then out-bread again any closer and you’ll get defects
