Hi Kim, mom of Pebbles and Bam-Bam. As a firm believer in non-sophistication this message is being copied to the 'list'. We have those kind of ferrets too - litter box sleepers and snorklers. Phew-ee. The answer is --Baby Wipes--! They come in many thicknesses, from tissue paper thin to nearly as thick as a burrito, and in scented and non-sented. None are made with alochol, most contain aloe, a natural plant extract soothing to the skin. Baby Wipes are our household cleaning staple. I'm highly allergic to many chemicals found in standard household cleaning products. In the ferret area a roll of paper towels and box of baby wipes are always close by. I purchase the white Chubbs boxes for asthetics and re-fill them with any brand on sale. A ferret who's napped in the litter pan or sat down in someone's floor puddle can be wiped down quickly, and will once again be sweet smelling. I try to wipe everyone off several times a week, and the dedicated more often. Baby wipes are also great for those ferrets with over-active ears. One of our ferrets produces so much ear wax I suspect someone told him it was a marketable product, and I use a baby wipe to clean the inside of his ears and the fur around the ears. Are the ferrets sleeping in the litter pan because they don't like the alternatives? Maybe they would like the cosyness of a plastic pan with their sleepsack placed in it. Is the place you have chosen for them to sleep in the light? Ferrets want a dark place, away from sunshine and/or artificial light. Georgia - the left coast one... PS: Has anyone checked the Kouri Klub site today to make sure Chineese hackers haven't infiltrated it? If the do, Kouri will just use the cat-a-pult and lob their stuff back at them!
