Ok moving on from the questions on introducing a female with my male I had a thought....
If I want a companion for my ferret who is a 2 yr old castrated male (who is used to both boy & girl ferret company previously with the lady I got him from) does it have to be a female would he be Ok with another castrated male perhaps??

I believe a male would be good for him. Try to find one who is within 6 months of age as your current fella. Remember to introduce the new ferret slowly, and take him to the vet for a check up.

| Hi, Either male of female would be fine. Just get a vet check and AVD test first and quarantine the new ferret for at least two weeks to make sure it is healthy, use to any food change and comfortable in their new home. Then introduce them slowly.

With my group I have several bonded pairs that are either male/male or female/male and female/female. All are altered(spayed or neutered). They all get along fairly well in the main group. With a 2yr old, you would want to get close to the same age. And as others have said ADV test is a must. Also vet checks. There are a lot of shelters that have ferrets needing loving forever homes. So adoption is a plus. Hope this helps
