My male ferret (6 mos old) seemed to be a little dispondant lately, so I decided to get a playmate for him. I bought a baby (2 mos old) boy for him to play with, but all that seems to have done is give him someone to push out of his hammock at night.
Any advice on how to get them to get along? Is the baby too little for him to play with, or is he just a jerkface? Should I try getting him a little girl to play with? Any advice will be (rated) appreciated.
Thanks
OhMyGosh! Ferrets are soooo cute!!
a lot of male animals DON'T get along. They fight or keep distance from each other.
Like hamsters, its bad to keep two males together as they fight and one could end up injured or sometimes killed.
but dont worry this may not be the case.
If you decided to get a girl, there may be a chance you'll have baby ferrets running around in a few months time.
i suggest you keep an eye on them over the next couple of days for the safety of the baby one. they may adapt to each other, they may not, just keep an eye on them. Also i would advise you to go the pet store where you got your ferrets and ask about them, like what they like as surroundings and their attitudes towards other ferrets. Or maybe by a guide book? they are quite useful and tell you what to feed them and grooming aswell :)
Your older ferret may just be bored? If your hut/cage etc is big enough, make sure it has tubes/pipes and other play things in there but PLEASE MAKE SURE they are big enough for your ferret to go through, consider the size it will be fully grown aswell.
i cant think of anything else at the moment but if i do i will edit x i hope i helped

thanks very much for the adivce. I came home today from running errands and they were sleeping in the same hammock. I think they're doing just fine. Maybe my eldest just had a case of jealousy.
