Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions on how to remove carpet stains and smells. Everyone has a different method. I thought it was interesting that Kathy said it's not the smell that makes them go there again, it's that they remember the spot. I assumed it was the smell because when I've seen them do it, they seem to smell around first and then go. So I figured if they smell it, they think it's an ok place to go. I should add that they don't do it all the time or even everyday. But one day it happened 3 times. Both ferrets have been caught in the act. If they are just beginning to get into position and I tell them "Go on the paper," they usually do, especially Klondike, who thinks every time he uses the kitchen paper he will get a treat LOL!
