Never put two females with young, in the same house for they will fight and steal one and anothers’ young.
One family in one house is a good old rule to observe.
When one month old they are able to walk around and drink milk. I would advise disarming and weaning at this time.
19.—Young.
The young grow very fast and soon become as tame as kittens, some show their amazing temper at this age, from the beginning.
At thirty days they walk alone and drink milk. At sixty days they will weigh on the average of six lbs. each, and appear to be half grown. At six months they are full-grown, and weigh from four to six lbs.
At this age they are ready to be marketed.
20.—Escapes.
It is well to be prepared for escapes. A properly constructed fence will prevent this.
Two contrivances should be in stock—net and traps.
