To whom it may concern and it seems there are many :-)
 
I've been handling ferrets for the past 13 years and build up a lot of
experience.  It appears there are problems in stopping these little gritters
scratching in the toilet pan and spreading the litter all over the place and
a number of more serious experiences.  Well..... I know the feeling, I tried
everything under the sun without great success.
 
After some experimenting I finally beat them to it and the answer was quit
simple.  A preferably plastic tray (metal will rust) about: 10 Cm deep with
the front cut down a little (depend on the size of the ferret) and a piece
of small square wire mesh, that will take the weight of the animal, with the
edges folded down, so Fussie wont get his feet wet, to fit in the bottom of
the tray, You may have to string a bit of wire across the top of the mesh to
hold it in place, some of my ferrets will still try to get under it.  I've
got some 25 gages so equipped, all I do in the morning take out the tray and
rinse it out under the garden tap, spray a little disinfectant in the bottom
to stop the smell of urine especially in the hot weather, and my clay or
whatever litter problems were over.  Hope you understand this description,
If not let me now.
