Question
Hello, I am wondering if I get one ferret now can I get another a month later and so forth or would they fight?

Answer
Hello,
I cannot say whether they will or will not fight, just like cats, you never know... But I will say, the younger you get them together, the better. Generally, ferrets bond well as babies, just like kittens do. But if you wait until an adult ferret is established, there could be some problems with him seeing a newcomer as an intrusion.

If you want adults, then I would say to go to a shelter and adopt a bonded pair of adults. If you want babies, and you want to get one kit, and then a second one a couple of months later, they should be fine getting along.
good luck, and thanks for your question!
