No, it's not ususual.  One of mine will actually come to a screching stop
and use the litter box right after a BATH!!  All of mine are really good
with the box.  Will stop in play to use it and the other will either stand
or lay flat to wait.  Even when they went on vacation, they used the box
in the carrier.  Of course they needed reminders that they couldn't go in
the corner of the tent.  (they learned real quick) With my third ferret,
I did have a very hard time training him. (he was a difficult kit)  The
first two were a dream, and the fourth did take some training.
