I think it's a great idea to get a second ferret. No one else can play
ferret games like another fuzzie friend. Also, those cuddly sleeping
pals are very important! Sometimes it takes an established ferret a
little time to accept a new ferret in the household, but at only a year
old I dont' think your current one will have a problem. A kit can be
readily accepted (especially if your ferret is still very playful) but I
would also suggest going to a ferret shelter with your current ferret and
letting him pick out his new playmate himself. A shelter can help match
up your household with a good ferret match.
Good luck!
