Amy,
 
I've had a relatively recent experience whereby an adopted ferret took
almost 3 months before being accepted into the group (in fact I posted
a similar post to you to the FML).
 
Prior to his acceptance, Snuff got beaten up and chased (mainly by Grover)
and I was also afraid that it wasn't going to work out.  Now I can't see
what I was worried about <grin>, they play and sleep together like
'bestest' buddies.
 
So I guess my message to you is to give it a little more time.
 
Best of luck.

Rangi (The foster who will steal your heart)
