I attended a ferret show here in Michigan a couple weeks ago, and was amazed at how tiny the 9 week and 12 week old kits looked. The owner explained that they came from a large litter of 12, still seemed too tiny to be those ages. Well, seen some 8 week old kits last week that were monsters in size compared to the kits at the ferret show. Which leads me to believe that all these people that insist they bought or seen a pet store ferret that was 4 or maybe 5 weeks old may be very wrong! I would have swore by the size of the 9 week old kits that they were 5 weeks or there about if I hadn't been told. You have to take into consideration different circumstances as to the kits size, just because it may look tiny like a 4 week old doesn't make it so. -- Vicki L. Henderson-a.k.a.
