Question
Hello,I have two ferrets they are 4 months old and are a male and female and both fixed.The boy always chews on the girls ear and licks her ear and she does not like it.I take him away and separate them but he does not give up.Its ok if you can not answer this question but if you can please tell me about this.

Answer
Ferrets like to groom each other, but most ferrets don't like their ears being bugged. So he's probably just showing his affection in an annoying way to her. Ferrets also try to show dominance over each other, which is what they might be doing. Unless she is screaming or bleeding she is fine, they are just being ferrets.
