Help.....ok all - I am home now. I took my little ferts and hit the road back to New Mexico - on Sunday. My assignment in Kansas is over and I am now home!!! Yippie!! Except......ahem....we are havin some issues here and I need advice...... Ricky and Lucy were with me in Kansas - leaving Artemus and Morganna (the ferret goddess of "I will eat you") here. Upon re-entering the New Mexico boundaries however, Morganna is ATTACKING Ricky and Lucy. I am not talking love bites either kids. She is hurting them - and I can't stop her. I have tried time outs - I have tried "re-introducing" them slowly - but it is not working. She wants them to die. Now. I understand she is "establishing" her dominance, however, before we left, they all loved each other and she bit noone. Now she did this a little bit last time we left and were gone for a while - but it was never to the extent that it is now. She is drawing blood and she is hurting them. When they try to get away - she gives chase and continues to hurt them. My husband is not as understanding as I am and is insisting that if she doesn't stop- that we have to get rid of her. I have never seen her do anything like this before. It is as if she HATES them now. I do understand that she became the "alpha" ferret when they were gone. I do understand her even letting them know that. I DON'T understand the viciousness of her attacks. Can any of you please give me some advice? I would appreciate it~! I would be heartbroken if my husband makes me get rid of her due to this - but he is very "attached" to the other ferts and seeing the viciousness of her attacks is getting to him. Just so you all know - I don't advocate her "leaving" and will throw the husband out before I will throw her out.....*winks* - I just need help to "re-introduce" them to each other.....so that they all can live together again.......uhm, preferably alive too..... Thanks all! Kim and Her Army of Idiots - plus one very pissed off female ferret..... [Posted in FML issue 4643]
