It was suggested to me that Jeep may need a cage mate. I have thought about that and here is what I have come to. Some ferrets are single by choice. I do not know where Jeep stands on that. I could get another ferret and that could be simply war for the two of them. Jeep was fine with others when I got him, he was in a cage with others but then again he was a kit back then. Things in life change. Pete and RePete were sworn enemies. I could not let them out or be together for five minutes where RePete would have Pete in a biting painful strangle hold. Eventually one crossed the bridge suddenly and I have no idea why, they were not together at that time but ferrets can crash like that, and Pete did. He was such a good boy but he was not where as cuddly as he was when RePete came on the scene. Repete lived on for several years before he crossed. Both of these guys were rescues so I really did not have any good idea of their age but both were at least 6 years or more when they crossed. So not knowing where Jeep stands on a 'friend' it would be not good to do that. Kodo and Bud started out enemies but in time they got along just fine. Again, things change. SO for now Jeep will be by himself. He is adjusting to the Plexiglas floors quite well. I have backing on every floor so they are not clear and look solid, that seemed to help allot. I could tell the difference in Jeep as he walked around in there. That backing gave him some confidence he was lacking. The 'new' cage is working well for both of us. He is happy, and I am happy.
