Hello! This is Fireball and Sable's "Mom" Sable is still having a problem nipping, but I am just being patient with my little baby. NOW she has developed yet another "attitude" My husband and I are separated, and he like NEVER cleaned the cage after I left - meaning, the ferret poop would SIT in the cage till it was black! I know, quite disgusting! Suffice to say, they are with ME now in a CLEAN cage EVERY day and loving it! Sable has started to push her litter box away, go behind it and do her business, and will literally empty the litter tray! Meanwhile, Fireball looks on, sighs, does his business IN the litter like a good little man, and goes back to sleep. I am wondering, I bought a DIFFERENT type of litter (same stuff, different NAME brand because they were all out) and perhaps THIS is the reason? I KNOW they are both MUCH happier with me in a CLEAN cage and more space to romp around in. Is she just trying to get accustomed to the new house? Thanks to anyone!
