Introducuing ferrets to each other?
Answers:
With my ferrets, I washed their bedding with a little bit of vanilla, so that everything smelled the same. I then covered them all in ferretone and let them groom each other. After that, I washed them all in ferret shampoo with a little bit of vanilla added to cover smells. That way, they smell the same for awhile and can get used to each other. The ferretone is like chocolate to most ferrets, and they will groom each other to eat it all, and tend to end up buddies after that. I had this work for me 90% of the time. I have had up to 9 ferrets at one time, and only once did it not work.
try getting a younger ferret
if you plan on keeping them in the same enclosure make sure you clean it VERY well with a pet friendly cleanser. They are territorial so any smell of the resident ferret can aggravate the new one. Be prepared to have to seperate them. Introduce them in a nuetral place that neither ferret is used to. I let mine sniff each other through a playpen i set up. After they both seem calm I pulled up the divider and let them natural move around keeping a close eye on them. I kept them seperate but close when I wasn't around for the first week until they were used to each other and I felt comfortable. Good Luck!
If he is older and has lived the majority of his life as an only ferret then he might not ever accept a cagemate. It's all up to him. Maybe you could find a ferret rescue near you and get some help there. He might pick out a friend or they could offer you some advice. Best of luck to you!
