The one 8,503 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Pop them all in a carrying box so they all smell the same then put them into the hutch and put a rabbit in for them and watch them they will squabble a bit till they sort out there positions but it should all settle down Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Just put them together one at a time and see what happens, that way you wont have all out war, and then you can split the fighters, and no vets bills, maybe! Quote Link to post
sue 1 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 they should be fine together ,just keep an eye on them and just make sure the oldies get their food as they sleep longer than young greedy ferrets Quote Link to post

Kay 3,709 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Well chances are they will squabble when you move the partition from the pipes , its deciding whats acceptable regarding territory fights which you will no doubt get , swap bedding a few days before you move the partition that may help .
