Hi all, Well we brought home Roger (the girl) and have been working on settling her into our house and routine. She sure has turned into an easy-going, sweet ferret who loves to be held and talked to and play. I was a little concerned at first that she might be an "older" ferret but now that she has had a few days to build up her muscles by roaming around she seems to be picking up steam. We tried a few new names out that we thought we liked for her, but they didn't seem to fit, and we finally decided that we would probably end up calling her Roger after all. But as time would have it, we have gradually been calling her "Chunky" as a nickname - it seems to fit her personality as well as her build - and I think that it is evolving into a new name for her. The trouble now is........Daisy. Daisy is bent on hunting down and attacking poor Chunky. If Daisy is "up" and about she is on an obvious hunt to find Chunky. Whenever she does find her she is trying to grab her by the nape. Chunky is screaming, Daisy is clucking and Chunky is obviously scared half to death. There is usually a chase scene, grab you by the neck scene with lots of screaming, twisting, etc., and Chunky quite often will poop in the middle of it which is what makes me think she is really terrified or hurting. Occasionally it is Daisy who ends up running away, but 9/10 times it is Chunky. We need help! Any ideas? So far this all happens over two large rooms with lots of "get away spots". When Chunky is in a "safe spot" she can usually defend her territory, but sometimes Daisy manages to find her way in as well. How far should I let this go? Would it be better to confine them to a smaller area with no hiding spots and then monitor them closely? Chunky doesn't seem to have any "injuries" as such - she has a couple of small red marks that I assume are made by Daisy's teeth when she tries to scuff her - but there has been no blood, etc. But boy can she scream! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Karla [Posted in FML issue 2727]
