Hello.  My name is Dee and I've been following FML for about 3 years now.
I have 6 fuzzies, mostly rescue/adoptees.  2 of these guys are brothers who
were rescued from that fur farm in Iowa (don't ask me to recall the name
of it, I forgot).  Anyway, on to my question.
 
Dash, who has cataracts, has been, of late, accosting the other ferrets.
He holds them down biting their necks and tries to mount them.  Then he
"goes to town" with a rhythm to envy any rapper.  None of my other fuzzies
have displayed this behavior, not even Dash's real brother, Charles.  I was
wondering if this is because they were altered later in life?  Does it mean
he still has these "instincts"?  Needless to say, the other fellows in the
cage do not welcome this sort of behavior and I've seen many a ferret go
running to the top of the cage as fast as he can get away.  Side note, Dash
never seems to bother the one female I have.  Is this something we're all
just going to have to "deal with"?

Mooch: "Hey! Get outta there!"
'Spresso: "*yawn* what's going on down there?"
Breezely Bruin: "Keep that thing away from me or I'll ...I'll.... OUCH!"
Charles: *rolls eyes* Oh, I'm so embarrassed. I guess you can't pick
          your relatives"
Dash: Hubba Hubba
Vera: "what? is it my deodorant?"
