Observation and question to all,
 
Our business has recently grown to three and we are now in the middle of
what seems to be an all out pooping war!  The new one, who has now grown to
almost full size, has realized her increased heft and is attempting a power
play for dominance in our gang-o-three.  When it comes to the litter box,
she is very good when we lock her in her cage at bedtime and during the day-
never misses.  The others have free roam of a room and they too are about
100% on target when the little one is locked up.  But when we let them
out...well, the whole world seems to be their litter box.  The other day in
the kitchen, the young one backed up in a new favorite spot - then the
eldest came by, sniffed and then added her own tribute to the mess.
 
Therefore, the question: has anyone noticed that ferrets will forget about
their litter box training when an obvious struggle for dominance is taking
place?
