Hi Everyone, I need some advise any and all I can get. Cody is my baby my first and he is going on 6 years old. He was a late alter DR Ruth did him because he wouldn't drop and my vet refused to alter him. He was close to a year when I had him altered. He was just a baby when I adopted my Joey and Phoebe for him as cage mates. The three of them soon became fast buddies and would never let anyone into their little group no matter how hard I tried. They would all beat up on other ferrets. I always called them my three Musketeers. Recently we lost Joey and soon after Phoebe. Cody became very depressed so I tried him with several shelter ferrets around his age and in good health after he lost his last cage mate Phoebe but he just beat them up. It was suggested trying him with a baby since he won't accept an older ferret. I just know something has to be done. It has been almost two months since Phoebe passed and three since Joey passed on. Cody was always so lively and would run and dook everywhere. He use to kiss me all the time and now he is just this sad little boy. I am really concerned about him. I make sure he gets lots of duck soup to eat so he doesn't lose weight but he needs stimulated to play and he won't. When he is out of his cage he walks around a bit climbs back in his cage goes in his cube that he loves and goes to sleep. I even keep him with me in a carry sack but he just curls up and sleeps in it too. I am really concerned about him. If anyone out there has dealt with this and had succuss getting your ferret past this stage please let me know and please email me [log in to unmask] I would really appreciate it.
