>Now, My experience is not the ONLY possible experience. If there >is someone or some (ones) who have had good results with a carpeted >ferret room, please speak up I have twice had carpeted ferret rooms in places that I've rented. One is current. Each time I put a large tarp on top of the existing 'good' carpet, then on top of the tarp I put a carpet remnant that I purchase for about $30 at Home Depot. The corners where the ferrets do their business have the remnant removed, so that only the tarp shows, and in those corners on top of the tarp I put newspapers, with a layer of paper towel on top for better footing and to keep their feet from getting newsprint on them. Thus, urine and poop never hit any carpet (other than the occasional accident on the remnant). And, the 'good' carpet underneath remains 100% protected. When I move, I simply throw away the remnant and the tarp, although at this point the remnant is still in such good shape that I would take it with me if I were to move soon. In the corners where I don't have the papers I make sure that there are sleep sacks or other objects to prevent the ferrets from using those corners as toilets. That holds true for most of the perimeter of the room.
