We've just gotten an 8-week old dark sable as a companion for Milo,
 our year old silver mitt.  (Yes, he's a convenience ferret, so flame
 me - we didn't go to the pet store with the intention to buy anything.
 We went there just to play with the puppies!)
 
 I've bathed them both and put them into the same clean cage (fresh litter
 and bedding).  After some initial wrestling, they seem to be sleeping
 peacefully and happily together.
 
 While Max (the 8-week old) is smaller and younger, he seems to be more
 aggressive...  So I'm really not sure who's coming out on top of the
 dominance struggle, not that it matters.  (But I'm amused to see the
 little guy holding his own against a big brother twice his size.)
 
 Does anyone have any cautions for us?  Warnings?  Things to watch for?
 My impression at this point (they've been together for 3 hours) is that
 everything will work out fine, and they'll be best buddies...
