About the question posted " True or False: Ferrets, like cats, usually defecate in a litterbox. >A: False. Some people have successfully trained their ferrets to use >a litterbox, but they are the exception, not the rule. A ferret owner >should be prepared to find ferret stools in corners and other >unanticipated places." I have to say that personally I have spoken with more people that have successfully litter trained their ferrets than those that haven't. I think maybe a better way to phrase that question if you want to keep the answer the same would be to state that "Ferrets always use their litterbox." I have two that are 100%ers and the new baby has about 85% accuracy. The newest one that had never seen a litterbox before coming to us is still working on it, but with the right reinforcement and encouragement I think she will do as well as the others.
