We have three of these adorable little carpet sharks (Franklin, Jake and
Gigi).  They all are of different ages.  All of them seems to get along for
the most part.  Sometimes they have their little scuffs, just like the rest
of us.  The youngest (Franklin) is about 6 months old and has had problems
eating ever since we brought him home.
 
He seems to always have to shovel food to the back of his mouth, then he
put half of the nozzle from the water bottle into his mouth as if trying to
moisten it, most times clogging the water bottle for the other two.  We
tried soft food.  They didn't like it.  We tried to moisten the regular
food for them, it didn't work--not even with ferretone.
 
He also has a habit of sitting in the food dish so that the other two cannot
eat at the same time as he does without a fight.  in the short amount of
time that we've had him, he has outgrown the older two.
 
Also, can anyone suggest an inexpensive place to get a ferret condo?  It is
time for them to move into a bigger home.  We live in the Massachusetts area
so anything in the northeastern U.S. would be ideal.
 
Thanks
