From Q to H
My brother and his fiancée have two wonderful ferrets.
One is a male and the other is a female. Both are about the same age and both came from very reputable breeders.
They are both happy and as well behaved as ferrets get (no biting humans, etc.). However, Po (pronounced "Poe", short for Polar Bear, the male) has this weird habit of scruffing Taz (the smaller female) and dragging her around. Taz doesn't really seem to care and they both get along wonderfully. They sleep together, eat together, etc. and have never fought.
Po gets a 'time out' whenever he is caught doing this and doesn't do it after the time out. It's not a vicious/aggressive thing he's doing... he is just hyper. They have the ferrets out a lot and give them tons of exercise (they looooove to chase the dog, lol... the dog adores them).
So has anyone else had this problem? What do people recommend?
