OK everyone, I've tried everything, and I need help with my little weasels. Since I moved to my new place, my ferrets are safe from Minneapolis Animal Control, but they seem to have somewhat lost their litter training habits. Some of it seems to be a protest when they're closed in my room - they go in front of the door. However, they also go there when the door's open too. They've also started going under my bed, where it's hard to clean. I clean their litterboxes frequently, but I'm sure to leave _some_ dirty litter in to keep them from playing in the box. There are now _5_ boxes in my room, including one near each of the trouble spots. I clean the messed area with a spray foam called Outright, but they keep going back. I even got a dog/cat repellant spray by Four Paws called Keep Off - it seems to be ineffective for them. (They even go over to sniff where I've sprayed.) If I put a towel in the corner, they go in front of or on top of it; same with other objects. I need recommendations! Cleaners, ferret-effective repellants, etc. that work for you are most appreciated. (Hopefully, they won't smell too bad to _me_.) I'd like to let them romp in my bedroom while I'm gone to work, as it's pretty ferret-proof and ferret-safe, but I don't want them to destroy the carpet - I'm renting this place. If people can help me with this, then I can let the little dears out of their cages while I'm gone, and all of us here would prefer that. Thanks!
