She's just learning to be social with more than one being and in beginning to feel more independent just like any kid growing up, from the sounds of it

HOW skinny? Ferrets are naturally thin for the most part and usually healthier that way than they are fat, but there is such a thing as too skinny. Is she all bones and inactive? Is she unable to get food? If no, then she is just working on becoming a natural athlete.

Right now we have the problem of needing to reduce the weight of one who get heavy from steroids needed for a medical problem for him to be safest for surgery. it is NOT easy.
