We have had ferrets as pets since 1993 (at one times we had eight). We have carpet in our ferretproof condo and are planning to purchase laminate flooring. Our current ferrets have the run of the condo 24/24 hours and sometimes urinate and/or defecate next to the newspaper instead of right on the newspaper. Do any of you have laminate floors and have ferrets who have accidents? If so, since when do you have this type of flooring; what is the manufacturer and model; how did the floor (especially the joint) react to urine puddles? I read an article, written in May 2002 in a Quebec consumer report magazine. Unfortunately, it tested only 7 brands for water puddles. It rated well the product of two manufacturers for resistance to water puddles but one product did not rate well for joints. I found this article very useful but was hoping to get some feedback on more brands to find out which ones have strong joints and puddle resistance.
