Hello Everyone,
I could use a little help from everyone. Just Yesterday I had found out
that my favorite ferret Romeo Had Diabetes and we had to put him to sleep.
It was heartbreaking for all of us being that he was only 3 years of age
and this was totally unexpected. Juliet is now without a companion.
Juliet is 3 years old as well and was purchased the same time as Romeo so
they have always been together. Now with the loss of Romeo I am unsure
of what to do. I am planning on watching over her to see her reactions
this week. She currently has looked for Romeo quickly but not shown an
overabundance of concern just yet. I am a bit confused here because they
have never been separated.... ever!
My question being, in the event that I decide to get her a new companion
what would I be looking for? Male or Female ?? I was considering a ferret
around her own age that is already house broken and would need limited
training. Juliet is always out of her cage and roams freely. A new
younger ferret may have to be confined for littler training. Would Julie
be more comfortable with a new young ferret or same age? I would hate to
get a 3 year old male trying to make himself dominant.
As you can see I am in quite a dilemma. Julie might be rather happy on
her own but in the event that she looks for a friend I want to be able to
provider with what is best. Any suggestions are welcome.
