Greetings FMLers... I'm writing today to announce that due to appropriate placing of litter boxes, cutting down sides to ferret-accessible height, and repeated reminding, not to mention a little trick I shall mention in a minute, my two ferrets have acheived a 100% hit rate for over a week! (pause for cheers from unbelieving and amazed FMLers) Thank you, thank you, we're all very excited over here, too. As for the little trick, I don't remeber ever seeing it anywhere, but instead of putting a towel down in a corner where the ferrets have regretfully chosen to drop "presents", I put down a food bowl. (after cleaning the area thoroughly, of course.) And folks, I'm here to tell you, it was like magic. And it's a lot more pleasant to have food bowls tossed here and there than litterboxes. The only catch is that I may give Mickey and Betelguese little ulcers trying to decide where to have dinner. ("I hear the bowl over by the door has the best service...")
