It really depends on his age. If he is pretty young, then it certainly could be teething that is causing the issue. It is also likely that he is just a young ferret and like any young animal, they explore
It is possible that he prefers the new food and/or style of eating. Slowly reduce the baby food added into the mix. Then slowly add less water. Now you are hand feeding a dry-ish kibble. At this point
You can tell if a male has been neutered since he will not have testicles, but you won't be able to see if a female has been spayed. It does depend on where you live as any ferret purchased in the US
