To Dale Miller- Sometimes it's the type of litter that they they don't like - I personally stay away from perfumed litters - it's not good for little ferrets to be sniffing up that stuff all day. However, if she uses the box in the cage, then most likely that's not the problem. If you think she's too lazy to climb in the pan, cut one end out so that she can just walk in it. Another thing to do would be to put towels or blankets around the pans and see if that helps. I had a big problem with one particular corner of my dining room. I followed Pam Greene's advice about using blankets and towels and I am happy to say I haven't had one single problem with this corner since!
