I have to say that personally I have spoken with more people that have
successfully litter trained their ferrets than those that haven't.  I
think maybe a better way to phrase that question if you want to keep
the answer the same would be to state that "Ferrets always use their
litterbox."  I have two that are 100%ers and the new baby has about 85%
accuracy.  The newest one that had never seen a litterbox before coming
to us is still working on it, but with the right reinforcement and
encouragement I think she will do as well as the others.
