Good morning! It's midnight on Monday and we just bought our very first ferret two days ago! His name is Lewis, after C. S. Lewis, one of my favorite authors. We read the FAQ prior to buying him, and felt prepared. We do, however, have a few questions: * We know he is very young, but have no clue just _how_ young. Is there any way to tell? * We have placed a litter tray in the corner of his large cage. He has alternated somewhat between two corners, so we're trying to make him choose one in particular. As it is working out, he still alternates. What can we do to convince him that we want him to choose the corner with the litter? * About Ferratone...where do you buy it? There are no pet stores in town that sell it. We live in Northern Utah, and ferrets just recently became legal pets. Well, I had more, but that's all I can think of. Please help us so that we can be the best parents to our new bundle of joy! He's SOOOOO cute! <grin> .........................................................................
