I don't mean to flame anyone, but *NOT ALL* ferrets are just playing when they attack each other. My little mutt Allie made multiple puncture wounds in Felix's neck, bit nearly through her tail, and mangled Charli's tail back in October. All of the above were spayed and got along great with males. Sometimes it's just better to keep them apart. Laura McDonald and the fabulous (if querulous) five [Posted in FML issue 0762]
