The gestation period is 42 days. An experienced veterinarian or ferret owner can diagnose pregnancy about 2 weeks after breeding, by feeling for the developing kits in the jill's abdomen. Ultrasound may also be used, starting at about 12 days, but is expensive.

If you bought your ferret form a pet store, it is almost certain pregnancy is not an option as they are 'fixed' before they leave the breeder. If your ferret has 2 small dark dots tattooed on one of the ears, it is from Marshall Farms and is most certainly 'fixed'. Also, you would have to have another male ferret that is not fixed so this further decreases your chances. If you are noticing a swelling in the abdominal area, I would say this is a definite cause for a vet visit. It could be a number of things including some sort of blockage, but as with all small animals it must be treated quickly.

it quite is truly confusing to inform, until eventually you're taking your Jill to the vet and function her x-rayed to work out if there are any kits interior the oven. No, this does not harm them, we've finished this on the vet many circumstances. women could have fake being pregnant, so in case you haven't any longer been doing vet examine, you will no longer understand until eventually she's gave beginning. youthful toddler ferrets don't have a competent mortality fee, and there is the possibility you may lose your Jill or could have an emergency cescarean area. determine that your vet is familiar with while she is approximately due for birthing, so as that they could be waiting in case of emergency. Then I surprisingly advise spaying after the birthing formerly she even comes on the factor of her next warmth. you do no longer could separate the hob until eventually close to the top of her birthing cycle. you do no longer prefer to risk yet another being pregnant. Ferret breeding isn't something to clutter around with.

More than likely, she isn't. The vast majority of ferrets sold in the pet trade are desexed. You need to do a lot more research on ferrets and their care ASAP. Start with "Ferrets for Dummies" by Kim Schilling.
