Dear Other Ferret Lovers, I have three ferrets, Sarah (white head, not sure her breed, just over a year), Thaddeus (sable,about 9 months) and Benjamin (silver mitt, about 3 1/2 months). Bennie was so great in the beginning. He went in his corners without any training and we praised him greatly. He nipped a little but never actaully bit hard. We snapped him on the nose if his biting is too intense. Now he regularly deficates and urinates in the middle of his cage (which is cleaned regularly, at least once daily) and in the other corners of the apartment he never went in before. He even went once on my couch. He is by far the most hyper of my three ferrets at his age. I'm not exactly sure what to do now. He doesn't respond to either negative discipline (flicking of his nose) or positive discipline (giving him treats). I dread banning only him from the furniture and certain rooms of the apartment because it won't be fair to the others who like to play and sleep with him. If anyone could please advise me on what to do if they had the same experiences. He's a completely different ferret than the others were at his age.
