Hi,
I was wondering if I could get some suggestions or support.  About a month
ago I bought two new ferrets, Garby and Zoey.  I already had 5 at home that
they needed to be introduced to.  Well they alomost all get along now,
supervised, except for Satchmo.  Satchmo is a 3 1/2 year old neutered male.
I never had any problems with introductions and him in the past.
 
He is very agressive to the new ferrets and scares the poop (literally) out
of them.  He doesn't seem to bite them that much he just constantly wrestles
with them and will occasionally bite.  The two new ferrets scream so loudy
when they see him that I am wondering what the neighbors think.
 
The strange thing that I noticed is that Satchmo wags his tail when around
them.  And he is extremely rough with them..not like anything I have evr
seen in the past.  (I've had 11 ferrets in my lifetime).Do you think he is
scared of them?  They are as big as him and actually Garby is even bigger.
 
I can only let Satchmo out with the new ferrets for a few minutes and have
to seperate them often just to keep the noise level down.  Has anyone been
thru this before?  Will he ever accept them?
 
Thanks
Corrie
