David,
 
Often times very young ferrets will use the litter box as a play pen.
Heck, our older ferrets still get a kick out of throwing litter all over
the floor every once in a while!  :)
 
After you clean the litter box you might want to try leaving a few poops in
it to remind Kit that it is a litter box and not a play pen.  She'll
probably still play in it a bit until she gets older, but it may help some.

Sounds great!  I hope you continue to have fun with Kit!  :)
