Hi everyone,
 
This is a last ditch effort to get my ferret to use the litterbox and not
the floor.  Oso is a 2 yr old male, I've had him 1 yr.  (I also have 2 older
ferrets who are great with the box).  Oso loves to pull the litter box away
from the corner, and potty where it was.  It doesn't stop there ... he'll
potty all over the cage, including next to the food dish and door, and he'll
potty regularly around the house - he rarely uses the box.  He's one of
those wierd ones that drinks his pee.  I know he know better.  I've tried
scolding, praising/treats, spraying Keep Off stuff, keeping the litterbox
extra clean, tried different types of litter, cleaning the litterbox while
letting the cage floor build up, and putting him back to square 1 in a
cardboard box for training.  After being in the box for a few days, he'll
start to comply, but after being back in the cage for a few days it's all
over the floor again.  He's been in the box for a week now and has used the
litter box twice.
 
He's also fond of nipping small women and children, and an occasional guy.
Disposition wise, he's very loving, wants to be held constantly, wants
attention constantly, and is very hyper (the older ferrets sleep too much
for him).  He's a mix breed, looks like a silver with a little albino (he
has a snow white patch on neck and red eyes).
 
HELP!!!!!
