Remember those two senior ferrets who needed a home? Well they arrived not quite two weeks ago. Since they arrived I've had the messiest cage!! I don't think they've hit the litter box once! Maybe I've been spoiled by my guys, they are pretty dang accurate, one guy even high tails it back to the pan when he is out and about. I emailed the person who surrendered them, hopeing for some clue as to what might be different or if they've always had poor habits. I've tried using their litterpans, putting a pan in every corner, even thought maybe the old guy (he is 7) could not lift his butt up high enough, so I got one of those long flat pans designed for male ferrets, nope. Even got a small storage container, cut a 'door', that did not work either, though my guys thought it was a blast rolling around in the wood stove pellets! Any suggestions?? I've successfully trained younger ferrets, but heck, Moe is asleep half the time, how do you train a sleeping ferret???? It is not the end of the world, but call me fussy, I've never had a single complaint about my cage smelling, and tonight my sweetie walked into the rec room and said, 'geez they get a little stinky pretty quick now'. So here I am! It is not the end of the world, no they won't be going anywhere, but I would like to have at least a 50% hit rate!!! heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! Thanks!
