Subject: Horny Ferret?

While reading through some ferret FAQ's I heard that one sign of adrenal
disease is a ferret who is "overly-agressive and tries to mate despite
his lack of testicles". I observed my ferret on several occasions trying
to "make ferrets" with one of his toys. He is definitely displaying a
mating intent. He grabs the ferrets toy by the neck, wraps his little
arms tightly around it, and hangs on, sometimes until it appears that he
is sleeping. If I grab the ferret toy and wake him up he dooks like he's
having quite the good time. He does not harass the other ferret in any
way, and does not appear aggressive. I had assumed that he is just going
through puberty or something since he is only 9 months old... Please let
me know what to do. How could my baby have adrenal so young??

Thanks for all your help. Please e-mail me at kaysi@j...
