1 as i understand it this ferrets are not used to human interaction
are there any good ways to help them get used to people?
**Gentle, persistent, and consistent handling, lots of patience and time.**
2 untill they are fixed can they interact with teh ferrets here?
**Probably not, although the females may be able to. Remember to have them
checked for Aleutian disease, parasites, etc, before allowing them any contact
with your current ferrets. And get them altered asap.**
i want all of tehm to be safe.
3 can whole male ferrets share a cage with each other?
**No. They will fight.**
4 can whole females share a cage with other whole female ferrets?
**Usually, although some may fight.**
5 as i have heard some of the females are pregnat what are teh
things to look for how can you tell?
**Development of the mammary glands, blowing of the coat - have your vet
check asap for pregnancy, and get them spayed immediately if no fetuses are found.
The last thing these poor kids need is the stress of reproductive cycling.**
