I do handle all my kits what ever species from 24 hours old and as I have a good relationship with all my jill ferrets, doe rabbits and all my female rodents, they all accept me looking in their nest. With my partners help we handreared a litter of ferret kits it happened when I got a call from a frantic woman who's jill decided that she had had enough of them and rejected them at a few days old.
