Another question (following "What to do" about adopting new ferrets). Minky & Klondike both had diarrhea from IBD, and towards the end they pooped a lot in different places on the carpeting. Does this mean the new ferrets poop everywhere? Or will they use corner spots, as they normally do? We did rent a machine and cleaned all the carpeting after Klondike died, but you know how ferrets can sniff out anything. BTW, This is not a carpeted "ferret room." The entire apt., consisting of a living room and one bedroom, is carpeted, though almost all the diarrhea happened in the bedroom, where their cage was. Even the entry way and hallway are carpeted. There's no wood under the carpeting (only concrete), so I can't just remove it. Jeff's method, though great, is not really an option for us. Thanks again, Shron [Posted in FML 7492]
