Col_c88 41 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Some of you may of seen i had a ferret handed into me the other day.. well noone has claimed her and ive still got the kits hutch halfed so she has somewhere to sleep.... i put her in the run today and put the kits in too as theyve not been out.. and she seemed to get really sick of them very quick.. she seems pretty happy in the run on her own.. after maybe 5-10 mins of the kits running around she seemed to be pretty rough with them and they were making almost like wheezing noises while she was being rough... I know ferrets play very rough but even the hobs dont rag the kits round like this. Is it possible shes been left on her own in her old home and just doesnt like company?? if so, i dont have the space for another hutch and i cant keep the kits hutch partitioned.. which is a shame cos she seems very friendly, not bit me once and though she doesnt climb on my hand like the other 4 ferrets she doesnt mind being picked up... in an ideal world id be able to fully open up the kits and have the 3 females together.

simonrocco 175 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 just keep putting them in together to try and get them used to each other but keep an eye on them to make sure shes not going to kill one of your kitts. could you not put her in with one of your hobs instead of putting her in with the kits atb Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 how old are the kits? maybe leave it til there a bit older, if they're very young she might do them a bit of damage? Quote Link to post
Col_c88 41 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 put her with my hobs today and within 5 mins they were fighting ... my hob wouldnt let go of her neck so i stuck my finger in his mouth.. shes in the run on her own again raggin on a ball so shes not unhappy .. .seems more stresed when theres other ferrets around than when shes on her own... rekon ill be phoning NE ferret rescue as shes no good to me if she fights.. i just dont have the space for another hutch and like i say, cant keep the kits's hutched halfed as there getting bigger now. shame Quote Link to post
Col_c88 41 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 hmmm well theyve all calmed down now got all 5 together in the run they just tucked into a pigeon.though its less happy about sharing food than my other 4..whilest i was cleaning out the hutches...so.. HOPEFULLY they were just sortin out the peckin order with the new ferret.... the furs growing back on the neck and its fattening up now.. slowly.. looking alot healthier than when i got it handed to me 4 days ago... guess ill see how it goes rest of the week before i give the ferret place a ring Quote Link to post

Col_c88 41 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Certainly looks that way now that all 5 are asleep in a tube together cheers bud Quote Link to post
The one 8,594 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 The worst thing you can do is keep interfering it will just take them longer to sort out who's top ferret as long as there no killing each other leave them to it they will sort it out quite quickly Quote Link to post
