Subject: ferret suddenly being picked on

hi...
i have a tiny rescue i got from a shelter...Hope-HollyHeart...i have had
her for about 1 1/2 years now...she is approx. 3 1/2 yrs. old...
her story...
http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover97/hope/index.html
if you feel it might be necessary for any background...

anyway..suddenly the other ferrets are being mean to her..grabbing her by
the throat...not the back of the neck..the throat...holly will NOT fight
back for any reason...any way shape or form...so when i hear her
wimpering...i make a beeline and 'rescue' her...whether i am upstairs or
down...asleep or awake...

it is not just the boys that do this...the other girls are starting to
too...it is not ALL the time..but often enough for me to be concerned...

my ferrets are free roam...they have either their room upstairs or the
whole downstairs...

i have checked her vulva to see if it was swollen...fearing
adrenal...maybe that was making the others pick on her..but no..nothing...

any other ideas?
i don't want to cage her...she has been thru enough hell in her tiny
life...

thanks...
kat
