Well, this may sound flippant, but I don't mean it to. In regards to getting a third ferret when the first two you have are not together or used to each other, don't get the third ferret. Why would you want three ferrets that need to be housed separately? Get the first two together and used to each other, even if it is only living wise. We recently got our newest ferret in with two others after five months. They don't play with him, but tolerate him sleeping in the same cage. I think he will eventually wear them down. That's the best thing you can do. Getting a third and having three different houses, three different playtimes doesn't need to happen. Take care of the ones you have first. It will be much easier that way. Julie [Posted in FML issue 3053]
