Hello Kim,
you asked:

This is all part of the process-- if there is hissing, chasing and NO
fighting these are very good signs. Extend the playtimes together-- give
them access to a cage and hammock-- as soon as you notice them sleeping
togerther your in like Flynn! Also aanother good trick is to swap the
bedding from cage to the other-- this allows them to get used to the odors
of each other-- so they don't feel so much like strangers. You shouldbe
pretty much all set by the weekend I estimate. Please let me know how you
fare!!!
fondly in ferrets,
