Lily, why not describe what you are doing so that you can find things
that have beter ways fo ebign done.  For instance, one common mistkae
is that people clean up the messes with ammonia based cleaners.  That
actually ensures that the ferrets will again "go" in those spots because
the dried ammonia traces smell like urine leavings for them so it's like
the person is putting up a "rest room" sign and telling the ferrets to go
there every time the messes are cleaned with ammonia.
 
BTW, you'll have already noticed some good tips in a post by Jen that was
in today's FML.
