I posted this on the FHL but only received one response so far so I thought maybe you guys might have a clue. I have a 22 month old MF male (neutered of course) ferret that is driving my business crazy. Every spring and fall since he was 9 months old he goes into an aggressive humping phase. He drops some weight. He drags all the ferrets around. He scruffs the females and mounts them and thrusts his hips. He also seems pretty miserable. He quits sleeping with me at these times also. He is free roam. I have never heard of ferrets being " proud cut" like in horses. Is anything like that possible? Would a melatonin implant help or maybe a Lupron shot. I am guessing it is something in his body going crazy and giving him this obnoxious behavior. I am tired of rescuing the rest of the group from his mouth. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
