Hi, my name is Andre. I just subscribed to the FML a week ago. I've
already asked the following questions to a few people with ferret web sites,
but I keep getting different responses. So I guess I'm now just looking for
more different answers. ;-)
I've owned a female ferret for almost a year. I got Kayla when she was 6
weeks old. I have had no luck litter training her. When I introduced the
litter boxes (designed for ferrets), she first started to dig the
(odor-free) litter out of them. I did put a few "pieces" in the litter to
let her know what the litter box was for. Kayla would then move the boxes
away from the corners when she had to go. I then attached the litter boxes
to the corners, but she would go on the side of them. Any suggestions?
I also have a question about loneliness. I let Kayla loose/play with her for
about two hours a day. But she is otherwise alone for the rest of the day
because I am out or at work. Am I spending enough time with her? Do ferrets
experience emotions of loneliness? I can handle the responsibility of one
ferret, but I don't know how much work an additional companion would be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Andre & Kayla
