Friends:
 
Hi, I've been lurking for awhile and learning.  Now, I have the problem and
need some advice.
 
I just got a new female, 11 months old, which makes it 3 girls and 1 boy.
I'm having a constant battle between her and one of my other females,
Jasmine.  Jasmine is about 2-3 years old.  The new one, Saffron, is bigger
than Jasmine and is not yet fixed.  Jasmine is constantly after Saffron.
She bites HARD, backs her up, pulls her out of bed, etc.  It's been a week
and the other have accepted Saffron, but not Jasmine.  Saffron has many
bites around her neck and some are open wounds.  Since this isn't my first
ferret, I know that there's an intro period, but this is ridiculous.
Jasmine is always the aggressor too.  Even bitter apple doesn't help.
 
Any ideas on how to end this battle?  I want peace in my lifetime.  Thanks
for any help.
