All my ferrets are fixed males. None of them ever fought. I got all of
them over the years as kits and added them to the bunch (what is the
proper name for a group of ferts?). I had four ferrets by the time I
was done. Two have died now, at the ages of 7 and 6...
 
The only problem I ever had with adding a baby ferret was when we got
one that was *exactly* eight weeks old. All the adult males wanted to
pick him up and carry him to their favorite playing place. The little
one made lots of noises in protest, so we kept him in a kennel till he
grew a little (a few more weeks, maybe) and they stopped trying to
pick him up. We did let them play supervised before then, with us
rescuing the little one if an older one got the urge to drag him around
by the scruff of his neck. The amazing thing is that we didn't expect
that instinctive urge from *fixed* *male* ferrets, but it was there.
 
 
Oh, and I have an announcement, too... On August 8th, Nose and Impulse
got a new playmate. Her name is Katherine Yelena Sylvan, and she
weighed 8 lbs 2 oz, and was 20 inches tall. She was not interested in
playing with Nose and Impulse at the time, but I believe that will
change shortly, as she's growing and changing at an unbelievable rate.
 
Have fun!!                              *Tigger*
 
(Chris - remember to strip my mail header! and how's your little one?)
