Any and all suggestions welcom. I have a friend whose little female ferret Disney died a few weeks ago. She waited about 3 weeks and decided that her other ferret should have a playmate. Sparky is a down right mean ferret. He still bites Ruth from time to time and when I watch him for her, I have to be really quick when handling him as he activley tries to bite, and hard. She has had him since he was a kit and does not understand why he is loke this. When she introduced Disney to him it took a solid week before he finally tried tyo stop hurting her and tolerated her. I took Patches over there on Friday and the attack that ensued was so bad that if Sparky now even looks like he is looking at patches. she screams and runs the other way. Ruth keeps them seperated when she is not there and monitors all out of cage time. We tried spraying her down with bitter apple, sharing and changing bedding, but nothing seems to be working. How long should we continue trying. I feel like an errant mother exposing her to this kind of stress. Diana and The Ferret Farm [Posted in FML issue 2834]
