Depends on whether they are bottle reared or not and how much experiance the potential owner has

They need to be fed milk until they are a minimum of 8 weeks old, and really normally it would be until at least 12 weeks old. They can be sold once they are 12 weeks, but if before then, they need to be either bottle fed, or their mum has to go with them!
