Hello Everyone:
 
I to have used the upside down laundry basket for time outs.  I have eight
ferrets and they thought this was a great new game.  In record time they
had flipped the laundry basket over and were rolling it around the room.
 
I have since had to put a "brick" on top of the laundry basket I use for
time outs.  My little ones can not move the brick, it can not hurt them
and they can not turn the basket over for a game.
 
Sometimes a stern "no" also helps along with the time out.
 
Good luck with your ferts and the time outs.
