Dear All, Hello and how are you all? Lovely to meet you all and I've got a question for you. My eldest ferrets, Charlie and Sapphy are 2 years old and my youngest are Willow and Jasmine, nearly a year old. It's taken a long time to get them together, Charlie and Willow being boys were fine but Sapphy didn't like Jasmine for awhile. The problem now is that Jasmine is determined to boss everyone and whereas Charlie and Willow allow themselves to be dragged by her or they hiss at her, Sapphy won't. This results in screaming matches and biting that last until I split them up. I've tried everything, ferretone bribery (Jasmine would rather bite Sapphy than have the ferretone!!!), cuddling and mixing both smells, keeping Jasmine on a leash and harness when out and I use the positive reinforcement way of training. The two boys are fully spayed and both girls had the des implant a few weeks ago. Having seen some of the news on here since about the implants, I will keep an even closer eye on them. However, every time they are out and sometimes in the cage, Jasmine will scream and chase Sapphy which has resulted in Sapphy becoming very depressed and tired. When they have different time out, Sapphy war dances and plays like mad while Jasmine rattles the cage and desperately tries to get out. When they're out together, Sapphy just sits in my lap and sleeps. Yesterday, I put Jasmine in a separate cage to give the other three a break. Jasmine kept trashing the cage and hardly slept so I put her back in with the others and she was fine. Jasmine is very intelligent but seems to prefer playing with just me and not the others Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour before? I've heard the FML is THE place to get the best information and I look forward to hearing from you. Love and Dooks, Suze Weatherhead [Posted in FML 7413]
