We have a situation that we would like to get some input on (Dick are you reading). We have 4 ferrets, all male (used to be anyway) they have lived together very well for over three years. Just recently, one of the ferrets has decided that he wants to be difficult. He has taken to licking one of the other ferrets ears and if the ferret objects, he bites his ear and holds on. We decided to seperate out the one that got licked and bit, to make sure that he was taking in and putting out like usual (just in case they were taking advantage of a weak one) and everything is fine. The licker has started this with one of the others now too. Any thoughts on why all of the sudden this behavior would take place?? Donna and Kevin in Germany [Posted in FML issue 1762]
