Hi, I have a 6 year old albino hob. We adopted him from a shelter and he has been the laugh of our day. His name is Boo, and is a perfect ferret. Boo unfortunately is stone deaf. This has made training very hard as he does not come (unless he feels like it) and has not taken to potty training very well. He just didn't like pooping in the same place twice. So my husband and I went to PetSmart (chain store) and purchased "Puppy Training Pads" these pads are scented to attract animals to urinate on them. Well what Boo looses in hearing he makes up 10 times in smell. We put the pad down and he immediately came ambling across the room and used the pad!!! Happy Day. We put the pad in an out of the way corner (where our human kid can't reach) and Boo uses it almost every time. I hope this helps some other potty training parents. Dooks to all Cherie Schultz.
