Smalls- sable, 8-9years, male
Shadow- sable, 4years, male
Squirt- sable, 5years, female
Wensey- sable, 5years, female, blind
Scooby- sable,1year, male
Zek- albino, 1 year, male
With that in mind, we got Smalls and Shadow at two different times (but in the same year 2004) but they got along great, when we got Squirt and Wenesy (at the same time in march 2005) squirt immediately attacked the two boys, every time she saw them she charged at them and attacked (Wensey didn't she got along great with them) Squirt kept doing it until Shadow drug her across the floor by the nap of the neck and she stopped attacking both of the boys and turned into a mother i would say she now sleeps with them and grooms them all the time. In December 2006 we got Scooby and Zek(2 weeks apart), Squirt did the same thing to Scooby until we got Zek 2 weeks later then she started on him and left Scooby alone she attacked him for about a week and then stopped but Smalls and Shadow got along great took to them immediately. Then this month we were watching another male (sable 4years old) Squirt AND Wensey attacked him but the boys took to him immediately.
Why do the girls do that is it a territory thing and if it is why is it the girls do it and not the boys, you would think it would be the boys attacking?
Would it be ok to get anymore ferrets my dad and i are afraid to because of what the girls are doing?
Also if we do get more what can i do to help we've just been letting them go at it?
And as you already read Wensey is blind what can i do or not do to help her she runs into things all the time the doors, walls, furniture i hate watching her do that?

| The girls just might be more dominate than the boys, ferrets have a pecking order and the girls might be at the top of it. Intorducing new ferrets into an established business can be tough at times, The group might not take to the new one right away. take the intros slow at first let them play together for a short time at first then increase the time each day, somtimes the best thing to do it to "let them go at it" once they establish the pecking order things should settle down, remember "no blood no poop all is well" For the blind girl there is not much you can do, try letting her play in a smaller area and dont rearange the area so she will get use to where things are.
