One of the 4 Utah ferrets, Smudge, keeps getting beaten up by the other
ferrets.  One of our "original 4", Smokey, seems to be very aggressive
towards him, and Smudge just yells and tries to run away.  Some of Smudges
cagemates from Utah and the rest of our original 4 will try to get him to
play/wrestle and Smudge just does the same thing.
 
Smudge doesn't seem to play much with the others anymore, he just prefers
to be held.  We took him out today by himself and he seemed fine, still
wanted to be held, but was also interested in running in the grass and
exploring the bed of my truck.
 
Any ideas on what we should do?
