Here is how we solved the litter and litterbox problem.  Parris WAS good
about using hers as she had been a cage ferret before coming here and
getting their own room.  The Kidd was hit and mostly miss.  I got a bigger
pan as he outgrew the small one.  Soon they were both pushing the litter
pan aside to use the corner.  Was using a pelleted litter that rolled
under their feet and they didn't seem to like that.  So put paper towels
in the pan and that seemed better.  So now I put a folded paper towel in
the one favorite *no pan please corner*.  The same in the pans in other
corners, the same in their cage pan at night.  Easy to keep up with, just
toss and replace as needed.  I get lots of bending over exercise.<G> Mind
you I have linoleum in their room and only 3 kids.  Buy paper towels in
bulk at Costco.  Cheaper for me than subscribing to the newspaper that
would never get read.  I keep a spray bottle of 1/2 white vinegar 1/2
water in the room.  Use as needed, a mild natural antiseptic and
deodorizer.  This works for me, kinda can't beat 'em, join 'em.  Am I the
only one that thinks a fert going potty is a cute thing?!!  They even
smile.
