Can I house to unaltered male ferrets together?

Question

I have a male ferret and am getting a baby male ferret can I keep them together

Answer 1

No they could kill each other

un altered males in rut rub pee allover themselves and get really oily and nasty

Answer 2

are you in the UK? most ferrets here are sold neutered already, so i was just checking.

yes, you can house two males together, but that's generally if they are already altered. otherwise, assuming the older one doesn't become overly aggressive to begin with, as the baby becomes sexually mature they may fight and actually attempt to kill each other. males in rut are not a pleasant thing.
