Yes, the dreaded ferret attack squeak! our blaze does that if anyone is taking
away from her a chew weasel or a ferret n bone, (or if they get too close) but it
is not a squeak, it is a SCREAM! A full blown high pitched extremly loud hissy fit
SCREAM with a hiss on the end of it for good measure. She may be deaf and or
have hearing problems so I think that's why she is so vocal.
Sometimes ferrets can get agressive if it is adrenal. Could he possibly have a
remanment of a teste left over if he was neuteured? That can cause agressive
behavior I heard.
good luck and let us know how it works out.
