Hi All....
 
Can anyone offer a solution for a ferret who digs all the food out of the
bowl?  Scarlett is only about 9 weeks old and we started out hand feeding
her "Duck Soup", meat baby food, and then moistened ferret food.  At
first we kept her in a large carrier and with us all the time.  She's
been in the cage for about 2 weeks now.  ( I put her in with AnnaBelle
who's about 4 months old because our alpha albino, Sno, bites blood from
her neck if she can get within reach!) Since being in the cage she
immediately digs out ALL the food!!
 
Also, can anyone give me any pointers for getting Sno to accept Scarlett?
Sno has never acted this way toward any of our other babies.  When I let
them out to play I let everyone out with Scarlett but Sno and then put
Scarlett up and let Sno have playtime.  I really want to be able to let
all the babies out at the same time.  I don't mind having 2 cages set up
as I have 7 babies.  (2 in one cage and 5 in the other.) I hate to
seperate them at playtime though.
 
Thanks for the help!  All ya'll are really caring and helpful.
