Hi Karen, My suggestion is what works here. My ferrets have what I think is a really good hit rate....on paper. Non really like litter, except for one that will use the kitty box when out. I bought the largest litter pan that I could fit in the bottom of the cage. For me it is the medium size pan designed for dogs. Found mine at PetCo, I'm sure they are everywhere now. It has a low entry, high enough corners, and lots of *swing room* (thanks Marilyn, great term) as the decide where to poop. I had to lift the cage from the bottom, then put the pan in as it wouldn't fit through the door. It is a tight fit so it can't be moved, covers half the floor, bedding on the other half. Easy for me to wipe down to clean too. I line this pan with paper towels. You could use newspaper, but I have one that will scratch that because she likes the noise. Paper towels are great. Just toss and replace twice daily, or more often as needed. It also is a great way to monitor the urine output/color of my older gentleman with heart and kidney disease. If you want to try this, get it all set up, then put a ferrety poop in a corner of the pan. Good Luck, hope it works as well for you. Ardith [Posted in FML issue 5077]
