Well I have two dashing male ferrets, one albino (blind) and one masked (completely fine) Their very close! Their pretty much like brothers. But lately ive been thinking about ';what would happen if one passed?'; Well then the other would be all alone. So now I want to get another ferret, preferably a female (just for a change)
But the thing is,
will my two men think of her as a mate and fight?
Will their be any fighting between the three?
Will my men leave her out of everything since shes new?
and since one of my men are blind, he gets antsy, so when he smells someone new, will he flip and hurt her?
( 4 years ago I got them) I first got my masked, then a week later I got my albino and my masked greeted him quite well, he was still somewhat of a kit, so he was playing with him(or showing dominance) and they hit it off. So will he do the same with the new one?
Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks =)
PS- Now my ferrets are 4 almost, if not, 5 years old. Both healthy2 male ferrets 1 female, need advice?
The two males might fight, especially if the female goes into heat. ONce ferrets are bonded it is very hard two break that bond, though. They might not take to her at first but sometimes it can take up to 8 months for them to bond. I personally would wait for pne of them to pass before getting another ferret. A new member can sometimes screw up an enttire bond. If you still want to get anew ferret now, you should put the new ferret inside a cage, and let your males out one at a time. Each male should get individual time with the ferret to get used to it. And you must make sure the new ferret is the one with the limited space (AKA in the cage) because that new ferret is in his/ their territory, so the get the free run. After a week or two, let both males out at the same time, with the new ferret in the cage like before. If they seem to be doing well, take the new ferret out and put her somewhere else while you let the males in her enclosure to sniff aroungd and get its scent. Do this for another week or two, then let each male out with the new ferret on their own, one at a time again FOR SHORT PERIODWS OF TIME ONLY! There may be small squabbles because your males have to show the new ferret whos boss around here. As long as the fighting is only small, let them at it. After a while try putting all three together, but make sure they are in a big enough space where if one wants to get away it can. During all this bonding processes you shjould have two pairs of thick leather gloves nearby, and you should also have another person with you. That way, if the fighting escalates you can grab the ferrets to separate them if you need to. Hope this helped!2 male ferrets 1 female, need advice?
