Col_c88 41 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I eventually got the 2 male ferrets to live together and they were fine for a couple of days.. Today I put them in the run together for a couple hours and when I go to put them back in the hutch it went straight back to one of them being ragged all over.. he was hissing and squeeling so to double check I split them up and looked for blood. I didnt see any blood but i did see what looks like a skin tag on the back of the ferret thats being bitten neck, It doesnt seem sore to him but ive never noticed this before... anyone know the cause of this?.... and why were the 2 ferrets fine for 2 days but as soon as i put them from the run to the hutch they start again?
