First, condolences to those fuzzies that are sick, or who have passed on.

Well, you have dumber ferrets than I have.  Mine don't *need* to move the
litter box.  They just go in the corner created by the wall and the
litterbox!  I've taken to putting newspaper down in the entire area.  Scoop
the boxes when needed, but change the paper daily.  Only way to keep the
floors clean and the smell down (my fuzzies get out once per day to
practice "free roam" [or is that "free Rome"?]...for about 6 to 8 hours at
a time).  Of course, in order to get the papers changed, the fuzzbutts have
to get put back in their cages, or they will help "initiate" each section
of newspaper as I'm putting it in position! :)
