Hi >I decided my Farley (18 months) was lonely and that he needed a friend. >We chose a really nice girl, Cybil from our local ferret rescue. ... >Cybil's so sweet and loveable that I decided to have her fixed and make >her a permanent part of our family. A large part of your problem may stem from the fact that Cybil is not spayed. I am very suprised that a shelter would adopt out an unaltered ferret. Have her spayed; give it a few weeks, and you may have better results.
