From personal experience - young ferrets are too hyper for older ferrets. Advice from another contributor: Well that depends. Is the young ferret calm and quiet or hyper and loud. is it nice or mean? If the ferret is nice calm and quiet as long as the old ferret isn't mean they should get along fine. is you have a hyper ferret and an old ferret well it could work.

Please if you are getting a ferret, DO NOT put wood shavings or newspaper as their bedding. They need soft blankets, hammocks, and even old t-shirts would work. The shavings cause problems with their lungs, and is really bad for them!!
It depends on how old the ferret is...Young Ferret: Young ferrets are more hyper than older ferrets. Young ferrets sleep a lot, but when let out of the cage, they jump around and like to get into things. Despite being so hyper, ferrets are best trained to stay calm when they're young. Encouraging ferrets to be held at a young age usually makes older ferrets more content with being held.Old Ferret: Older ferrets can still be hyper, but if at taught at a young age, can happily cuddle and even sleep in your arms.
