The reason I suggested vineager is because "I" tried it as a last resort
kind of thing. I was basically desperate. Gumbi was determined on going
potty right behind our front door and not in the litter box near it. One
day after having about enough I desperately dashed around looking for
something "smelly". Since my front door leads into the kitchen, well
vineager was the first thing I picked. Being raised with tons of animals, I
know its used in house training puppies and decided to see if it would work
for ferrets. Worked pretty good too!
Rubbing alcohol - It's the ingredient in Bitter Apple that my ferrets hate.
Using Bitter Apple as a repellent can be pretty expensive. We use alcohol
in a spray bottle to spray on the couch or in a corner the ferrets seem
interested in. Works like a charm for a couple of hours at least.
Eventually they get the hint that it's Mommy's corner. : )
