Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] brush tail
Marla, this worked wonders for me.
Get some bitter cream. The thick stuff, and use it copiously.
I put it on all of the ferrets' necks each time I let them out
together (they slept in separate cages until I was comfortable
that they could be left together). It took only 2 or 3 tries
before the cranky one gave up, and they were fine from then
on. Putting it on all the ferrets is more fair since the
aggressive one won't get bitten either. Again, use plenty of
it.
Good luck.

Months ago I attempted to introduce two year old Fro a
female Panda to the rest of my crew. Three accepted her but
two of my ferts give off high pitched squeals, get brush
tail, and bite her hard on the neck to the point she shakes.
I have resorted to letting her out with just one other
ferret who happens to be a new adoption and gets along fine
with Fro still when Fro sees the rest of the gang out she
wants so much to be a part of the fun but I am afraid for
her..any help would be appreciated.
