Fellow Ferret Fanatics and Poop Picker-upers, I would like to thank the many, many people who wrote with wonderful suggestions for my gangs poopy problem (or rather MY frustration with it). Thank you to: Jen, Richard, Jim, Eileen, Troy Lynn, Karen, Mary, Ailigh, Jacquline, Ann Marie, Kat, Joanie (even though her subject was titled "Flame!!!!" ;-) ) , Kimberly, Micaela, Mal, and Debbi ... and anyone else that I may have forgotten. Most everyone suggested lying down newspaper as well as making sure the litterbox is big enough AND rectangular/square. I DO have the square, high back, large pan for these guys. I've moved it to the corner they seem to prefer. I think that just folding up the soiled newspaper will beat having to scoop, pick and scrape it off the floor. Again, thanks everyone for the great suggestions and for hearing my words rather than my tone (although everyone empathized with my frustration). :-) Not only did the suggestions help but it also helped to know that others were also in my boat! I will try to respond to each letter that I received but please give me some time... I was truly overwhelmed with kindness and ideas! FML people really ARE the best! Hugs to all of you and your ferrets, too! Renee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looking for some ferret people in your area?
