I also have an old ferret about 6 1/2 yrs old. He's had insolinoma/adreanal surgery and bad teeth and other issues. Mine also pees and poops out of the box but usually only in our bathroom ( I think he thinks the whole bathroom is his litter box) and as soon as I wash one of "his" favourite rugs and put it down he goes on it again. I would love any helpful information on how to care for a geriactric ferret. He is also blind and I think he is losing his sense of smell. I tried to find something in "ferrets for Dummies" but there wasnt much. Any info or sites would be helpful. As always, thank-you everyone for your help! [Posted in FML issue 5197]
