About 5 onths ago, I decided that I finally had enough space to get a second ferret to keep my 4 year old female company while I wasn't at home (and of course just because I would love another fuzzy). Knowing that Blizzard has always gotten along with other animals (dogs and cats), I went out and got a 6 month old male. He was a sweet, docile little thing. My female immediately attacked him upon seeing him. Not expecting this reaction, I freaked out. I do not have the space to keep two ferrets separated (living in an efficiency), therefore, I one of my classmates took him. It all worked out in the end for "Darby" who got a home. However, I still feel like I didn't give Blizzard a chance to have a ferret roomate. Since then I have heard that ferrets fight upon initial introduction. I guess I am looking for advise. Is it realistic to think a 4 and a half year old female will accept another ferret? She has always lived as a single ferret with me. The only other animal she has lived with is a dog. Even so, I believe that she is happy. Am I just being selfish because I want another ferret, or will the company of another ferret eventually benefit her? If I do get another ferret is it best to get a male/female, kit/adult, passive/forward? Please help me if you have any experience with introducing new ferrets to aggressive ferrets. Thank you so much. **************** Shelley Straight VMRCVM [log in to unmask] **************** [Posted in FML issue 1864]
