>>1985861I dunno about annoying. They can be frustrating at times because they're troublemakers, but you get used to it.
As for high maintenance, like the other anon said, at first it is a lot of work but soon it settles into routine. When you first get them there will be a period of adjustment for all involved, and probably training that needs to be done (litter training/bite inhibition training, etc.) If you get an adult ferret who had a previous owner instead of a baby ferret, you might not have to do as much for training, but it's still worth mentioning. After this initial period of training, figuring out the behavior of your ferret and adjusting to a care routine, it's really not too much maintenance, in my opinion.
>>1985958Hmm. I wish I could help but I've only ever experienced introductions/acclimation between ferrets that went completely smoothly and quickly. My best guess is that it might just take more time. Something about the other two males is just rubbing her the wrong way. Are they all housed together? And have you noticed any specific triggers that set her off (the context in which she attacks them?)
>>1986002They adapt pretty well to whatever schedule you've got. They sleep a lot (~18 hours a day) but it doesn't seem to matter when they get that sleep, and it's obviously interspersed throughout the day--they wake up several times to eat, play, go to the bathroom, etc. So it's ok not to have consistent playtimes. Ferrets are pretty much up for playtime whenever, even if you just woke them up. They do fine like this, so don't worry.
>>1986066Ah, darn. Let us know how things go!
