I've found a solution to clumping litter.  i'm behind in reading the fml so
if this has been mentioned before, i apologize.
 
since the fml, i've learned that clumping litter is unhealthy for ferrets,
but it is so convenient.  i've tried using just the recycled newspaper stuff
but it was really messy and i ended up throwing half of it away every day.
now, i fill the litter box with about two inches of clumping litter and put
about a half inch to a inch of newspaper pellets on top.  the little guys
never come in contact with the clumping litter, you'll notice it never gets
on the floor.  it lets the urine through and clumps in the litter underneath
and the stools stay on top.
 
it isn't as easy as just using the clumping litter but it is as safe as just
using the newspaper pellets.  you have to keep on top of it, but, once you
get the hang of it is really easy, clean, and safe.
 
if i didn'y make this clear or anyone has any questions or comments please
e-mail me personally.
