I have had some success with a combination of plastic carpet runners, old
sweats or towels and lots of extra food bowls. I put the carpet runner
down in the corner the ferrets love to poop in, then put the towel or shirt
down. Finally, I put the food bowl in front of the cloth. This seems to
work 90% of the time or even more. The runner is for the times it doesn't
fool them at all. They know good and well this is a corner meant for
pooping, not sleeping or eating.
The corner behind the bedroom door is a special problem. I have to have two
towels as well as the food bowl. They still poop there about once a week,
so the second towel is for when I have to remove the dirty one. Also, the
extra height of it seems to throw their poop radar off. One towel only
deters 5 out of the 6. Someone still goes there. So, two seems to get all
6 to see this as a cuddly place.
Without the food, the towels or sweatshirts only have about a 60% success
rate at detering the little buggers. Good luck!
