I've never had a problem integrating new ferrets, but I have two ferrets from hell. Any new ferret that enters the household is marked for death. I've tried cage switching, letting them spend time with a barrier between, holding them both at the same time. Once the devil child(ren) are on the ground they will even leap on me to attack the newbie. I've tried scruffing, hissing, scruffing with my teeth, bitter apple, ferretone, bathing them all so they even smell alike. Nothing deters the death hunt. The most disturbing part is they run around dooking like I just gave them a live toy. At one point both ferrets jumped on the poor newbie I thought they were going to tear him apart. I have room to have separate them, but it concerns me that these guys are so aggressive and will not accept new ferrets. My little girl Tequila I've had about two years and they still want to tear her apart! One ferret is deaf and his cagemate is not, they are 3 years old and from a breeder. To handle them. they are loves but they have no sense of submission whatsoever. Amy Robbin Manager, Human Resources SeaChange International, Inc. Phone: (978) 897-0100 [Posted in FML issue 4343]
