Subject: depressed ferret
Hello all:
I am writing on behalf of a ferret-owning friend (we have two
ourselves) who is very concerned about the mental condition of their
two-year old male, Fozzie.
A female kit (about 12 weeks) was just introduced into Fozzie's
household four weeks ago; her name is Rumi. Fozzie had been an only
ferret unitl this time. After the two were introduced Fozzie attacked
the other ferret on sight (going for the neck). After a week of this
behavior, Fozzie has grown increasing lethargic and despondent. He
has lost interest in play, food and even forbidden pleasures
(dishwasher, patio romps).
Is there anyting that can be done? Anyone with similar problems?
