Just a suggestion. We had 4 or 5 ferrets who didn't like newbies, so adopting new ferrets was always difficult. We would have to police our ferrets and break up any attacks over and over, and we could not put newbies in the same cage at night. This would often take months for them to be accepted as part of the group. One thing that seems to help is to give everyone a bath this helps reduce the frequency and severity of the squabbles, we still had to police them but it was easier after a bath.
