Hmm..Ferret mailing list..I almost forgot I joined, since
I never receive anything from it..Well, lets start..
 
[Because there simply isn't much traffic...]
 
Our ferrets (3 ..2 female, 1 male) have a little 2 story
ferret "condo".. It basically is a fairly large (6 feet long
by ...say...3 feet wide, 4 feet tall on 2 feet tall stilts).
The whole thing can be divided into: 4 seperated cubes,
1 large cube on the bottom, 1 large cube on top (either
seperated or access allowed from top to bottom), or any
combination.  We usuallyjust keep the large compartments
allowing the ferrets to roam free..  The bottom has the
sleeping quarters, litter boxes, food and water..the top
has the toys..
 
When we let the ferrets out, we simply open up one of
the bottom level doors (there are 4 doors), and have a
rough wooden "ramp" that runs from the compartment to the
floor. The ferrets can then slide down to roam the floor
or climb up for food and water. Our ferrets however NEVER
climb back to sleep in the condo (we have boxes filled
with soft towels)..Instead they like to crawl under the
sofa and sleep under there (next to the heat register)...
 
Question for the group: How does one litter box train 3 ferrets?
When they are in the condo, they use the litter boxes provided
just fine..However, when let "loose" to roam, they NEVER seem
to use the "outside" litter box (on the ground floor in a corner)..
Instead, they seem to go out of their way to use any other available
corner...Any ideas?
