To introduce a kitten to ferrets, start by allowing them to sniff each other through a barrier, like a baby gate, to get used to each other's scent. After a few days, supervise short, controlled introductions in a neutral space while keeping both animals calm and relaxed. Always monitor their interactions closely, and provide a safe retreat for both the kitten and ferrets in case they feel overwhelmed. Gradually increase their time together as they become more comfortable with each other.

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.
