Human babies are born from their mother, but black-footed ferret babies could be born from a female or male ferret! Well, even though the male ferret can reproduce, most of the time it's the female ferret who gives birth. Baby ferrets are called kits and the kits creep out of their home in early July. A ferrets home is called a burrow which is also in the prairie. The kits will leave their parents when it's September or early October, which is when the kits are fully grown. Having three to five babies is really tough even for the black-footed ferret, but we all know that the ferret can handle it.
