I posted the whole story to Petra already but wanted to let people know
that even though ferrets may be sold fixed that may not necessarily be the
case.  It turns out that our youngest wasn't _fully_ fixed and was going
after our female, Grover.  We had our vet look at him and at first he said
yes Elmo was fixed.  Then after a certain incident we took him back months
later and the vet said no, he wasn't fixed that he could feel a testicle.
I guess it hadn't fallen and he couldn't feel it the first time.  So, if
they all of a sudden are getting more aggressive and marking their
territory I certainly would take them in and have them checked again for
testicles that may still be there.
