well i didn't get a baby like i wanted , the pet store told me when i was there were going to be 150 , i had my name up on the bored to get first pic , so a few days later i went in and there were in but not to be sold for a few more day , but i see a price on the window saying 250 I'm thinking what the heck , so i went to the front and asked why , cause i saved up for a few months and has my heart sat on a baby, so she goes to tell me that the price went up cause they had to pay more and so on , so my question is i should have been told at some point before that day came up to be bought so long story short i didn't get a baby, so i went to C.L , and what did i find a male under a yr old being sold with cage and suplies for 50 bucks but this add was all ready posted for 4 hrs before i saw it . so i e mailed anyways thinking that he must be sold by now. Well a few days go past and she picked me lol so we emailed back and forth for a few day me asking info and receiving pics of him ans she said sunday i can come and see him so i have to wait 4 days now till sunday came along , all ready planing lol , so his is here and thinks are ok kinda i have 2 all ready and the female is fighting with him the new one , after 2 hrs all ready being together so i separated them ,so do i keep trying every day with these too ,iv read that some just do not get along at all or it takes a long time before it happens when i was talking to the lady , well her hubby cuts in and said oh ya he is great the kids can throw him around and he just comes back , im thinking ,WHAT THE HECK ,i knew i was takeing him at that point , his name is STORM i will post pic soon,
sorry for the long story
thanks for reading

Ferrets don't always get along immediately. Sometimes it takes only a few days and sometimes it can take months before a bond developes. Occasionally it's hopeless and two ferrets won't accept one another no matter how hard you try. In such a case it is necessary to have separate play times for them. There are tips though, that are very helpful in bringing peace between the furries. Start out keeping them in separate cages, but put the cages close so the two ferrets can get used to the other being there. You can also swap bedding ... put the girlie's bedding in the boy's cage and put the boy's bedding in the girl's cage, or some of the bedding at least. This helps to familiarize them to one another's smells. Some people give both ferrets a bath at the same time (but not together), using the same shampoo so they'll both smell alike. You can try putting the two together for 15 or 20 minutes someplace on the floor, but stay with them. Don't leave them for a second. If one of the ferrets (it will probably be the male, because he's the newbie), throws 'fright poop' or is bleeding, separate the two kids immediately. I had a feisty little female who was very aggressive with any new ferret I brought into the house. Nada would tear into the newbie violently and it took me months of work before she bonded with her new companion. But when Nada became violent acting, I would pick her up, cuddle her and calm her and stop the interaction for that session. I didn't want Nada to think I was angry with her for acting like a ferret. After Nada calmed, I would go to the 'victim' and comfort him/her. Eventually Nada accepted all the newbies. I'm sure other members will have more tips for you to help you introduce your new boy successfully. And, by the way, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Please keep us posted and don't be afraid to come onboard with any questions you have. Hugs, Greta

I think you have saved Storm from a very unhappy life he was having. Hey if you have a cuddle ferret, that is great. How many of us would love to have one that sits in our laps and just loves to be loved.
Try doing some of the things Greta suggested and since he already gets along with one of your ferrets, it may not take long before the other will accept him also.
That's a real high price for a baby. Maybe they had a lot of people asking about them and decided to raise the price. Supply and demand. When I bought April, they were asking $125 but she was 5 months already and when they saw how I handled and loved her in an instant they dropped the price to $69. Boy that was a deal.
Good luck with STorm and come back with more photos. He is a beauty

. im sure .. Storm in deaf we did the pennies in a pop can test 3 different times , and the squeeky toy thing and nothing but its ok with me he is loveable as ever , so i have a question
1 is completly deaf , why is he so calm ?
i mean he is cuddly and all , jumpy at times when aproching but not once has he bit if he is scared and cant hear wouldnt he be more prone to niping or bitting ?
