I know this thread has been done before but i couldnt find it so here it goes..
My boys are 8 weeks. They are intact and in a modded ferret nation...the 5 of them. The girls are 7 weeks and French Fry is <6 months.
They are all in the same room. Does this necessarily mean that the boys will smell them and become aggressive with their hormones? or is it only a "chance" that will happen?
If it is going to happen, if i put the one cage in my room and the other out in the living room will this stop the situation?
And lastly, if it is going to happen, what age should i see signs of it? they are only 8 weeks now.
I never kept both sexes before and im still trying to find a cheaper vet so that i could possibly spay the girls..because i know the benefits of it. However my rat vet costs over 250$ per rat for a spay. So im literally standing on a fence here.
Thanks
