This may sound rough to some, so be it. Our new addition is just not taking to the tribe and nor the tribe to the newbie. Have been around ferrets for numerous years and know all the tricks of the trade to introduce newbies to a tribe of ferrets. The last resort was coating the newbie in Vitamin E which all love, but this isn't working. The newbie is the "love of my life", and it's hard to find it in my heart to give her away. The newbie is very young and can find a home probably easily. It is breaking my heart knowing the newbie may have to go to a new home. Anyone with many years of experience try to help us. It's been 2 months now of introducing with no luck at all. In a way, since the newbie is the love of my life, am almost willing to find a new home to the tribe we have.
