Hi Everyone, I just wanted to add a little bit to this topic. When I first brought Auryn home from the pet store (to join my 4 rescue ferrets; yes, ferret math struck when I saw a little silver mitt who looked just like my beloved Sparky who had passed away 3 months earlier), my most docile ferret Zoom took to dragging him around the house by his neck, ear, face (well, you get the picture). She would just take one look at him, grab him, pin him, and drag him around the house. The other guys just said "Thanks, Mom, for bringing us a new toy", and they were happy to play with him, but Zoom would just attack and latch on. Now, she didn't draw any blood, but he did holler (probably because he was scared! I know I would have!), and she would never let go (I always had to pull her off). This went on for 1 week, and then I got the idea to pour ferretone on both their necks. Well, Zoom was so busy licking him she forgot to bite, and that solved the problem. Of course, she didn't really attack him or try to kill him or anything, mostly just pin him or subdue him. If one ferret is trying to kill the other, this might not work, but it is worht a try. I tried the bitter apple with no results. Kathleen and the 4 fuzzies (Zoom, Courtney, Tiye, and Auryn) Missing Lucy, Norkie, and Sparky (and Mr. T who passed away last week) [Posted in FML issue 1761]
