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.

Are ferrets Hyper?
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.

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.
Will a year old ferret get along with a baby ferret?
Has the older ferret ever been around other ferrets? If not, he may not know how to play with another ferret, baby ferrets are a bundle of energy. A 2 year old ferret is almost considered to be middle age, considering a ferrets life span is about 7 years. Get a favorite toy to play with the older one and get the young one involved. You need to play with them until they learn to play together. My ferrets age are too far apart - a 9 year old female that mostly sleeps all the time and gets irritated at the 3 1/2 year old male wanting to play with her. So I'm the one that provides playtime for the young ferret.
