I have two greencheeks and one is a bully.I originally had them housed in the same cage and they loved each other.It was great, the younger one would preen the older, they slept side by side then something happened.The young one bullys the older one(I suspect it was hormones kicking it as it started when the younger turned 1 and a half yrs old).I separated them because the younger would keep the older one in one corner and not let her leave.
Ive never had them sexed but refer to them as girls.The younger one is now almost 3 and older one is 13.
But the cage they are in is just tooo big, its a two story ferret nation that is divided into upper and lower cages.I need to put them in either smaller cages separately or back in the old cage together(it is huge as well but not as deep).
Is there anyway to make the younger one behave better so they can live together?

I would really suggest keeping them separate. There is no way to "make" them get along. You can try to reintroduce them in a neutral space and see how that goes. If you have a playgym or area outside the cages that would be best. Start letting them interact in the neutral space for short periods of time and see how it goes. After several "play dates" if all goes well you could try reintroducing them into a single cage. If it does go that far make sure to make the cage as neutral and new as possible. Remove old toys, put in new. Change sides for water and food, possibly even change the position of the cage in the room. Anything to make the cage seem like new territory. Then try introducing them supervised into the cage. If it still doesn't work then separate would be better.
