Hi all
I purchased a female brown sable about a month ago, and we have been doing
great. She has been a lot of work, but well worth it!
I decided I should get her a playmate. Well, I tried the shelters and even
introduced her to a male and female. She got along well with the female,
but not the male. I also soon realized the male came with some very bad
habits. So I decided to return them to the shelter and buy a kit from the
pet store.
OK, today was the first day the kit was brought home. I let them meet and
my little cute, sweet 12 week old ferret (name-"Cosette") was a mad woman.
She was grabing the kit by the scruff and draging her. So of course I
stoped it, put them both back in their own cages and took one out at a time.
Now I am a little (ha--A LOT!!!) nervous about them ever becoming friends.
I have read that they do this sometimes to fight dominance, but wow.
HELP!!!!!!
The new baby is about 6 weeks old, and seems to still be trying to get the
walking thing down. So the size difference is really a factor also.
Now all else aside, they are both very beautiful!! If you have experienced
this or can give me some advice, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks alot,
Tom DiPaola
