I recently made another addition to my ferret family. I already had two
girls (Nala and Pinky) and I adopted Niko this past Sunday. Nala was my
first ferret and when I first brought Pinky home, they seemed to be at
odds, but I could tell that they were going to get along fine once they got
used to each other. This time it is different. Niko is very territorial
and so is Nala. I can't seem to get them to get along. To begin with, my
girls are very small in size and he is pretty big (he is under a year, I'm
not sure of his age). When he plays, he is very very rough. I don't think
my girls enjoy playing with him too much. Yesterday I heard horrible
screeching in the other room and I discovered it was Nala. Niko was after
her and needless to say, there was poop flying everywhere. I don't want
to give Niko up, he really is a loving ferret who loves people. I am
currently keeping them separate (I ordered another cage, but until I get
that one, I am alternating cage time) and I supervise them when they are
together. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do to get them to
like each other, or at least tolerate each other? Please, please, please
write me back personally or post suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
