Karl!! GACK!! So....scent glands, eh? Hehehehe!! Uh-oh...well, I had one with scent glands...and she didn't like her sister ferrets...and she STUNK the place up! It took awhile to lose the smell too. I mean, when they spray...it isn't as bad as a skunk, as you already know...but...some of the smell lingered here anyway. And I could not find a vet who'd de-scent her. Anyhoo...I thought males and females got along better...maybe if they have their own sleeping quarters (cages?) and are only together running loose in the house...they can slowly learn to get along? I feel for you. <g> Mine are getting along now, for the most part. I am going to build a larger cage so I can have seperate hammocks though. I think they'll be alot happier. Foxy gets along with them all, but Nonni and Coco don't., And they look identical. <G> Maybe that's why. <g> "Mirror Mirror on the wall...<G>" Daisy.Lyn... ..and the Wild and Crazy Three! PS: I also learned that the sounds they make when arguing, are far far worse than it is...but...I'm no expert, but would two ferrets really harm each other? :/ Mine didn't, even Mama who hated them all. <g> She did her share of scenting my house though...gack! <G> [Posted in FML issue 0570]
