I honestly don't think ferrets were meant to be cage animals, though many
seem to adjust.  Obviously, this little one isn't.  For starters, can
he stay out all night while you're home sleeping?  How about just one
dedicated ferret room in your home where your ferrets can be out all the
time?  Maybe it's not a room you had originally thought about.  I'm willing
to bet you will see some interesting changes in all your ferrets, not just
this little one, if you set up one room to be a ferret room for them.
 
Please let us know what happens...
