I'm afraid ageing a ferret kit by its teeth is not an exact science, it can vary due to the size of the litter, the health/age of the mother, what the mother was fed on during pregnancy and what the kits were weaned on to/how early. Small kits with few teeth do not have to mean they are very young. Breeder friends of mine are finding a total kibble diet is retarding kit development and are going back to a more natural diet.
