Wayne ((We've tried everything,but our ferret just won't go in her litter box.)) I posted a copy to you but I thought there might be others who would like to read this. About getting your little carpet-poo-er to use a litterbox, do you keep her in a cage when no one is around? If so, go with the tried and true method of waiting for her to poo before letting her out. I have also read that a ferret's digestive tract is about 20 minutes long so you can have a better idea of when to watch for her inappropriate behavior. You can also sprinkle food on the floor where she poos most. The area then becomes a food place, not a turd place. Newton is pretty good about using her litterboxes but occasionally gets careless. I am starting to learn that this comes with the territory:) I also have three litterboxes in my one floor apartment (1 in her cage, 1 in the bathroom and 1 just inside the apartment door). Your problem may be that you dont have enough (ferrets wont go far to find a place to poo). When I do see her getting careless I shoot her with a watergun or I clap my hands and put her in her box. I also give her the linatone when she is good. I hope you have some luck with your fuzzy, and one last tip is to give in to her ideas about where to poo and put a box where she goes the most. FUNNY>> Newton was standing near an overhang on the bottom of my dresser when she sneezed(which involves a violent shake of her head) and knocked her nose on the overhang...which made her sneeze again and knock her nose again and again and again and again, until I moved her. She mustve been so dazed she didnt think of MOVING!!! Jen, Andre and Newton(I didn't do it!) [log in to unmask] Halifax, Nova Scotia [Posted in FML issue 1205]
