Ferret wont play with my other one

Question
Hi, my little guy Roo used to run around and play all the time with his brother Odin. They used to have so much fun together. But for the past few weeks since we moved in to a new home, Roo won't play with Odin at all. He will play with me here and there, but mostly just wanders around the house getting in to trouble. He seems to be settling in, but every time Odin tries to play with him, he just hisses and runs away. What on earth happened? I feel bad because now neither of them have a play mate other than me and my b/f. Do you have any ideas?

Answer
Hello Elisa,

Roo, what a cute name!  

It seems that he is still a bit shaken up by the move and needs a bit of time to adjust.  Any sudden change in behavior can usually be linked to stress from the environment.  The most important thing is to give him lots of time so he can explore his surroundings and try to keep the noise/other stress to a minimum.  If his behavior does not get better in time, or he develops other problems, have a vet take a peek to make sure a medical condition is not causing it.
