be careful there now epointer he has been known to try hold hands:D

i got into ferreting a couple of years ago and have to say when the rabbits are bolting there is some craic to be had. it's great when your young ferrets bolt their first bunny and even better when you watch them work the sets and try find the bunnies. anyway, just a bit of advice i was given and something i have experienced first hand, ferrets are very social animals and do better with a buddy. i'll have some kits in the summer from very good ferrets you're both welcome to have your pick of whatever is there (no charge)

Spot on lad ill take one for sure. My good one died a few weeks ago & I'm on the look out for another one. Do they take to new introductions well??

the way i was told to do it was to introduce them in a neutral area and watch how they get on. and when they are used to one another they can go into the same court. that's what worked for me. . .

I put a new ferret in to others and straight away bonded and never had a problem but if you are worried introduce them one at a time in hutch and then leave them altogether
They'll soon be curled up in a big ball sleeping
