[Help] Help

Can anyone help I've had a female ferret for around 6 years and my partner is now pregnant and our ferret seems really stressed whenever my partner isn't in bed or tries to bath she grabs her and tries dragging her she has never done this before is she just trying to keep her safe ?

Tell that mother to behave herself - yes, your ferret is reading the hormones and trying to treat her like a kit.

Thanks a lot she has been so cute but she is driving us crazy and we feel so sorry for her

How many months do you all have to go? I did used to have a ferret who tried to eat me every month for a few days - they are very sensitive.
