I had a cat, and I just loved her, but after I had my baby, she didn't get the amount of attention that she needed, it just wasn't possible. I ended up giving her to a friend who has a little boy who is 9. I still get to see my kitty when I go over for a visit, and she gets much more affection and attention with them. I wanted to keep her, but then I just realized I was being kinda selfish doing that since I had someone else who wanted her and could give her the attention that I couldn't. If I were you I would look into finding your ferret's a new home.

Honestly, I would find a home for them to get more attention. The baby will (and should) take up most of your attention. Most likely, you will be too tired to let the ferrets out for 3 hrs a day.
If possible, you could find a temporary home for them at a friends house until things settle down with the baby. Once the baby sleeps through the night and you have a bit more time, you can probably give them enough attention again.

your baby is more important than a ferret you must get rid of them asap to a good home.they are not to be trusted with a baby you have made them feel you are their mom and they will be jealous of a baby so for the sake of your baby and your pets sell them or give them away to a good home. congratulations and good luck!

as long as they still get attention from someone after the baby is born everythign should be fine and you should be able to keep them. if you can't have them out with you and the baby have someone else take them out and supervise them for you.
