To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
I had this problem with a female ferret from Sydney, AU. I got her and
her brother as kits and they were fixed at 14 months. The female was
always rather agressive, but it got worse with age. She attacked
people (scarring a little girl's face, the neighour's legs, my
mother's knee), a cat (which needed $US1000 worth of work after), the
American ferrets I adopted upon my return to the States, et al. She
never attacked her brother or myself. She was raised with love and
there was no physical reason that either the Australian or US vets
could discover for her behavioral problems. The theory that the vets
came up with, and I concur, was that it was in her DNA. The Australian
ferrets were second generation pets, prior to that they had been bred
for aggression for hunting purposes. If the labs come up clean, it
might just be in the genes.
