My ferret(pogo) litter-trained herself in about 2 weeks. With a few exceptions, b/c at that time I was low on $$ so I used some old tupperware containers, 1 in each corner at the back of floor 1 of her cage. She pooped there with some exceptions of going over the too-low sides of the things, and also she had a 3-day spell of going in the corner across from her litterbox at the end beside her food and water bowls. She now has a 100% hit rate so far (3 mo.) and is doing wonderfully except that she snuffles her face through her crap. Yech. But otherwise she's doing great. I got her some ProPlan that matched up perfect with the requirements ie crude fat protein fiber, had taurine, and the meat&protein is the top ingred. on the kitten chicken and rice formula, and this was on sale for $3.99 for 4 pounds!!! Yaaaay!! Reg price is $7 for 4 lbs. I got a good deal on that. I'll be giving her some dust baths soon. BTW: does the dust come off on other things ie furniture, hammock, ME? and does it smell?
