Baby Ferret?........?

Question

why is my baby ferret wayyy more fragile then my other ferrets?(like when i go to tickle my other ferrets, they would ether enjoy it or get annoyed, but when i tickle the baby, she starts crying) Also a nip from my older ferret makes her scream, but if my old ferret bit my other old ferret, it wouldn't effect him.

Answer 1

I had a baby ferret that hated to be touched on his belly and we took him to the vet and found out he had worms. So u might want to take him to the vet

Answer 2

well all ferrets are different. they have different personalities. some would be afraid of all this and some would think its all in fun. so your ferret is just more sensitive and has more fear. once he starts to trust you more and as she gets older, it will change.  

Answer 3

how old is your ferret?

i'd say she is just frightened. make sure you handle her often so she gets used to human contact and doesnt associate it with fear. it could be an indication of an underlying medical problen, so maybe get her checked out by your vet just to be sure.

good luck, and i hope she grows up happy and healthy :)

Answer 4

The only thing I can say is even though it may be expensive take her and get the fecal exam (your vets prices may be different than mine) If he suggests bloodwork get it done. Ferrets are expensive pets and thats one thing you have to deal with.
