Sorry about the title, couldn't resist I have come to realize I have an alpha female... (does that happen with spayed females?) She has always resisted scruffing, and has only recently (after 8+ months) begun to pay attention to her disciplining. A real bull-headed ferret. My mother has an older ferret of mine, (wouldn't give it back :) ) and they met during christmas. Problem: Gus is neutered and descented (petstore) while Stuff is spayed and fully scented (breeder). Gus is bigger, and is not taking any s**t from a female, but Stuff refuses to lose and has her secret weapon. Question: Stuff uses her spary A LOT while fighting/playing with Gus. does that mean it is not really playing, but serious? also, we want to adopt another ferret... preferably from a shelter. I would apreciate any stories/experiences people have with scented and descented ferrets cohabitating. Thanks Nathan {send responses to email, unless you really want to share.
