Darlene wrote about Laz who won't use the litter pan: We have one of those too. We finally gave up, and use pieces of newspaper instead. We still have a litter pan in the cage (which our other ferret does use), but we also have a piece of newspaper in front of that that extends to the front of the cage. They never miss one or the other of those. When we let them out, we put down paper also. Generally, they are pretty good about not missing, except when they are trying to make a point! :^) I was frustrated too, and someone advised me that sometimes you just have to let them tell you what they want! :^) I'm convinced that he has his reason for not using the litterbox - I just don't know what it is! :^) Try training him to newspaper - you might have more luck! (And it's pretty easy cleanup too - we just change the paper twice daily.) Good luck, Amy ---- [log in to unmask] is: Amy Goldman Dimensional Insight Voice: (617) 229-9111 111 South Bedford Street Fax: (617) 229-9113 Burlington, MA 01803 [Posted in FML issue 1709]
