摘要: Postnatal growth and development of fishers were quantified for 14 litters kits born in captivity between 1991–93. Male (n=22) female (n=16) body weight did not differ within 48 hrs birth (P=0.64); however, by 90 days age the mean daily gain males (48.1 g/day) was more than double that females (21.6 g/day). Males grew approximately 1.49 times faster females. Females attained mature 180 200 days. Kits altricial with few discernible morphological changes or behaviors observed during first 30 life. Teeth could be palpated through gums at 40 Eyelids ear canals opened (±4) began to eat solid food soon after their eyes thereafter increased significantly. outside nest box until an average 70 parturition. Agonistic also became common introduced about
