The litterpan.
 
I've been handling ferrets for the past 12 years in New Zealand and build up
a lot of experience.  It appears there are problems in stopping that little
gritter scratching in the toilet pan and spreading the litter all over the
place.  Well.....  I know the feeling, I tried everything under the sun
without great success.  But I finally beat them to it and the answer was
quit simple.  A preferably plastic tray (metal will rust) about: 10 Cm deep
and a piece of small square, reasonable, heavy gage 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 problems were over.
 
Hope you understand this description, If not let me now.
