There is little difference between fixed male and female ferrets.

Females tend to be smaller and more active

Males are larger and slightly more laid back. You have to take this with a grain of salt however since a laid back ferret is still a bundle of energy. It depends on the different personalities: I would get both, not to be lonely.

Female ferrets tend to be more fidgety and don't like to be held. Male ferrets tend to be more relaxed and laid back.

Males are larger, more cuddly (as much as a ferret can be) but are stronger and can bite harder. Females are smaller and more playful. It really depends on the ferret though.

When do male ferrets go into heat?

Male ferrets (and mammals) don't really ever go into heat seeing as they don't have a uterus and can't go through their menses. However, male ferrets will become more aggressive when around a female in heat. Especially when that female is another ferret.


How do male hamsters attract a female hamster?

Female ferrets have seasons. And in those seasons, it's not really about the male "attracting" the female. It principally involves the male ferret leaping on the back of the female ferret, biting her neck so as to hold her in place, and consummating the "relationship".


Can female ferrets be kept together?

They can get along, but they don't get along as well as two male ferrets. Female ferrets, after they get spayed, are much more territorial than before they get spayed. If you are thinking of getting two ferrets, I suggest getting one male and one female. Of course, you should get them spayed and neutered, first.
