Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] new fert

Haha !! I don't mean to laugh but I feel your pain. My black mitt
Jaedin is the same way. I just brought home a new lil guy I named
Deigo. Gorgeous lil brown mitt ... and Jaedin is just awful to him
!!! I think it is an adjustment dominence thing. As my white
albino Luis (who btw weighs 5lbs !!!!) did the same thing to Jaedin
when we brought him home. Give it time. And a great tip that we
did, we sprayed just a little bitter apple on Deigo's ears and the
scruff of his neck. Needless to say, Jaedin leaves the little guy
alone now ! They play nice too !!! Give it a try, just a little.
It wont hurt them at all, they hate the taste !! Good luck !!!

I just adopted a new ferret. Babybear is a little over a year old
and a brown sable. All my other ferrets have taken to him really
well except for my sable mitt (also a male and two years old)
Meiko. She has had problems accepting my other ferrets too and
always jumps on top of them and bites their neck to the point they
scream..he is a fairly chunky ferret..any ideas why this is
happening? Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Marla
