Tamsin Liddle asked: > Our ferrets all drag/wipe their bums on the carprt/tiles around > their litter boxes after they have used them. Do other ferrets do this? Oh, my, yes. It's very common. We keep a sheet of newspaper spread out in front of the box, and fortunately our pair seem to prefer that "toilet paper" to the wood floor. Debbie Riccio suggested: > Ferrets like going in corners. [...] Put a box there, or a table; > anything to change the shape so it is no longer "corner-appealing." A crumpled towel or blanket often works very well, making the spot look like a better bed than bathroom. As a last resort, a food dish might help. -- - Pam Greene ==> Ferret Central has moved! <== Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, and change your links to <http://www.optics.rochester.edu:8080/users/pgreene/central.html> [Posted in FML issue 1129]
