Hi all! Just a quick post to let you know about a nifty, cost-effective solution to moved litter boxes (and the poops behind them)! First off, we have a laminate floor (Formica) in the ferrets' room. This won't work with carpet. It'll work with wood, laminate, vinyl, whatever. We have two litter boxes outside the cage. They are the rectangular high-back kind. At the grocery store this week Jay & I looked in the fix-it section (glue, etc) and found "Mounting Putty". Jason thought we could give it a try to make it more difficult for the ferrets to slide the litter box away from the corner. It was 4 sticks for $1.99. Elmer's makes some too, but it's orange and it's half the quantity for the same price. I don't recall who makes the stuff we bought. I took a stick of the putty (it's white) and pulled it apart into 4 pieces, and stuck globs of it to the bottom of the litter box at each corner. Press firmly onto the floor, and WAH-LAH! The kids are going nutso trying to move the darn things! <eg> It says on the package safe for wood, etc so I am assuming it's ok for the Formica. I'll check on it when we empty the litter boxes to make sure it's not leaving a residue or anything. It's not sticky, it's just sort of tacky. It's what some teenagers might use to hang posters on the walls of their bedrooms ;O) I hope this helps anybody out there! Jay thought I should post and share the wisdom. Updates: Miya's exploratory/adrenal surgery is on Friday, and I should have pics of Joey up on the website soon. Thanks to everyone who replied to my post about Joey's anti-social behavior ;O) Many people said it could take several months for him to fully integrate. I'm not going to give (him) up, he's staying here either way. The funniest thing happened yesterday morning. I hear Joey screaming as usual *sighs* and it's pretty bad so I go upstairs to check it out. Miya is huffing around with her tail poofed (with what's left of the hair that is) and Joey is next to their "tent". Tazzums (Rascal) is poofed too, and each time Miya lunges at Joey, Tazzums jumps between the two and breaks it up (he's been doing this lately, sometimes he'll scruff Miya and pull her away from Joey - too cute). Soon Joey is in front of the tent, and Tazzums literally forces Joey into the tent then stands right in front of the opening, like he's guarding it or something! TOO FUNNY! I think of all of them, Tazzums is the one Joey tolerates best, but they don't play together. BTW they don't have separate cages, since they have free roam of their room. Joey has his hiding spots (like the tent) and we feel that "forcing" them to interact will work a lot better than separating them for [1/2] the day. If it turns out Joey isn't happy after a few months, we'll get another cage and do play shifts. Ok, quick post turned into long post...must wrap it up. Much love to sick or injured fuzzies, & to the parents who've lost their furkids. *hugs n' dooks* Amy & the innocent criminals === Visit Miya, Nina, Rascal, Jack, Joey, and Koty the doggie @ http://www.geocities.com/neenerbean_78 [Posted in FML issue 3146]
