It depends on the individual ferret. Ferrets that have formed a strong bond with their cage mates of other ferrets should not be separated. It could cause them to go into a depression, sometimes will quit eating and drinking leading to death without human intervention.

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.

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.
