I am a relatively new ferret owner.  I purchase 2 boys who were cage
mates, Nike and El Diablo.  I went to a pet store chain and saw the
cutest little girl there.  Needless to say, I wanted her immediately.  I
brought Niko home about a week ago.  The problem is this: the boys want
to hurt her.  One more so than the other (he was named El Diablo for a
reason!).  I have bought a separate cage for her but am hoping that they
will get along.  Niko is rather timid compared to the shelter boys.  I
have let them all out together twice.  One of the boys broke her skin,
the other yanks on her neck.  I do not want her hurt obviously but I
don't want to her be lonely in her cage by herself either.  Does anyone
have any ideas on how to integrate them safely?
