As far as my ferrets using the litter box, I have a gender trend--both my
males are spotty at best, and both my females are really super amazing.  One
of my females, Zooey, gets picky about her box being clean but not b/c the
boys pee in the middle.  I have two private bred ferrets, Elsa and Martin,
and Elsa the female uses the box while Martin does when he feels like it.
My two MF ferrets are also split along gender lines.  Maybe it's a trend in
my ferret family...
 
I remember some people commenting about hiccuping in ferrets, but I don't
think I ever saw if anyone thought this was a bad thing...Martin hiccups
quite often, once a day or so.  I don't know if this is bad or not, but it
is awfully cute b/c he jumps in the air every time, and sometimes it gets
him running around in circles.
