Is this a common problem? Is it best to keep pairs? I'm thinking of getting a ferret this year and as a beginner was thinking of just getting the one.

Linc , it depends on the ferret .Most do like company of 1 or more other ferrets but I have a loner who will NOT tolerate another ferret,i've tried her with jills/hobs and kits but she tries to kill any that are near her.

if you just want one ferret try the nearest ferret rescue as they usually have ferret who cant be housed with others .. so theres always the odd one or two who need to be kept as lone ferrets

Cheers for the replies. Thats all the excuse I need to get two so thanks. I was planning on starting with one an then another when I've learnt a bit more. I'm in North Lincolnshire if there's anyone with surplus kits looking later this year let me kno.

I would say that the problem of them not likeing to be housed with others only happens when they aint used to been kept with anouther, they are always better off in pairs from young so they can play and mess around when u aint there to entertain them. looking after two is easyer than looking after one and looking after more is just as easy. good luck in findin some.

 

and tb5 good luck in intreduceing a new one into urs, not that u should need it

I always reckon your better with two jills and a snipped hob there socail animals and like company ,and you cant work a big burrow with one ferret
