What should you do if your new ferret is not eating anything?
Tootie219
Ferrets imprint on food, meaning whatever they are fed for the first six months, they will only recognize that as food. Feed your ferret the same food it has been eating. Any changes in your ferrets food must be gradual to avoid upset stomach. If it is a baby ferret, try mixing dry food with a little water. Otherwise, if you cannot get your ferret to eat, you need to contact a veterinarian as soon as possible to rule out any illness.

Why do ferrets act weird when a new one is introduced into its cage?
What do you mean by "weird?" Ferrets have a pecking order, much like dogs. If you have multiple ferrets and you introduce a new one, the dominant ferret and the new ferret will likely "wrestle" for dominance. If you introduce a new ferret to an older ferret who is not used to having company in his cage then the older ferret just may reject the new ferret altogether. Or it may just take him a while to warm up to having a new playmate.

Is your baby ferret okay?
Baby ferrets have been in a very stressful situation being taken away from their mother and then transported to a pet store with a lot of new noises and smells.

Make sure he is eating the same food and might need it moistened with little water at first, with food and water available at all times.

What does it mean when a ferret does not like treats?
Because the ferret does not recognize it as food. Ferrets are known to be picky eaters, because they imprint on their food at a young age. This means that when a new food or treat is introduced the ferret actually has no idea that it is food. Try mixing it with their food or rubbing a small amount on the ferret's gums.
How do you know if a ferret likes another ferret?
Yes ferrets are social animals and as you should keep two as they're very active and a play mate will drain their energy There's no way of guaranteeing that one ferret will like another ferret. However, there are certain steps that will make it more likely. Introduce the new ferret through the bars of the existing ferret's cage - let them sniff one another. If you have two cages, keep the new ferret in a separate cage for a few days, then swap the bedding in each cage with the bedding from the other - this almost always works. Each ferret has it's own personality (and whether they have been altered) - Baby ferrets take to other ferrets very easily, older ferrets that have never been around other ferrets - it may take time for them to adjust, some may never accept another ferret. Ferrets that have not been altered (or fixed, neutered, spayed) when in season or heat, the males will fight.
