How do you know if your ferret will like the other ferret?

In: Care of Ferrets [Edit categories]

Answer:

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.
