How to read the ferret gestation chart
Find the row closest to the date the ferret was served. The right-hand column is the expected kindling date at 42 days. Because normal gestation spans 38 to 44 days, plan for a window of a few days either side of that date. For a date that is not on the grid, use the calculator below.
