Hi I recently got another ferret and it’s a male. He seems to pee a little all the time. Like he can’t control his blatter. Is this normal for male ferrets?

Hello, No, this is not normal. Dribbling urine in ferrets could be due to urinary stones or prostate disease. Inability to urinate, as in a urinary blockage, is a medical emergency. I would recommend having him seen by a vet as soon as possible. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
