Seamus has had a major disruption in his home environment - with the
loss of his friends and then introduction of new friends. Its only been
a week and a half with the new ferrets. Only time will tell if they'll
ever get along. But to ease or encourage acceptance of the invasion,
you might try "TONE TRICK" - douse all three ferrets with Ferretone and
let them clean each other up. If Ferretone doesn't work, try natural
mayonnaise or unsalted butter.

Ferret squabbles can get quite noisy and furiously active ( the "Furo"
isn't in their name for no reason), but I don't separate anyone unless
there has been a fear poop. Continuing to separate them only causes
their development of social standing to take longer. Some ferrets will
never play nice together and only time will tell.

Engaging them all in playtime at the same time helps too - If you have
a smooth, non carpeted floor ferret bowling is fun. Ping pong ball
chase is great - especially when you toss a lot of balls at once.
Marbles work great too as they'll bounce a bit. The ever enjoyable
grocery baggie capture, toss and trampoline soon has them ALL wanting
to get in the bag!

Don't expect them to all sleep in the same place for now, allow them
separate sleeping quarters. Mostly just be patient.

Cheers,
Kim
