I have 4 male ferrets. They all get along fine and sleep together.
When I got
the 4th, I did have to wait til he was double in size (3 weeks) so
he could
hold his own with the others. They really picked on him. (the three
were
together for a year) After then, they were all fine. I put them into
the
kit's carrier, but not the other way around. One night I put him
into their
cage for a few min alone, and the next night, everything was fine. I
did put
him in with the others in also, I was watching them. There was an
emergency
outside my house (kid vs. car and I saw it outside my window and
being a
nurse, I had to go), when I came back, they were all sleeping
together. So, I
said fine, and cleaned out the kit's carrier and put it away.
