Hi, Since no one responded to my post about my fighting ferrets, figured I'd post again since the situation hasn't gotten any better. Actually, Lola's starting to be a bit more tolerant of Sebastian, though she still scruffs him sometimes, much to his distress. The main problem is between Lola and Pukka, the two females. Pukka's around a year old and can be nippy, which we're working on. Whenever she and Lola get near each other, they face off and hiss, and if neither backs down they'll go for each other's scruffs. They also have some fantastic screaming matches; you'd think my bed was possessed when they both get under it together. Also, Pukka managed to bite Lola a good one right on the nose yesterday, drawing a tiny bit of blood. Does this sound like it could ever work itself out? I love them all and would really like them to get along; does this sound like normal dominance stuff or something irreconcilable? Help? Rachel, Lola, Pukka, and Sebastian ===== "Go ahead, call the cops You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops" -- Tom Waits [Posted in FML issue 3717]
