Hi all, I have 7 ferrets and I am getting pretty tired of them. (i know i probably will get flamed for this, but I don't care) I have tried everything to get 2 of them to use their litter boxes, but they just are stubborn and won't. I have carpet in their room and it is discolored and smells awful, and not just where the box is being missed but all over. They also have a carpet perch that is discolored and smelly also. I have thought of getting rid of them several times, but always see their innocent faces and can't go through with it, but I am getting fed up with them and tend to keep them caged just to keep the carpet cleaned. These ferrets are all neutered and descented. I know my husband is furious with the situation but won't say so, but I know he hates the smell. I shampoo the carpet at least once a month, but the carpet is ruined. Because of this, I just don't enjoy my ferrets anymore like they deserve. I go through the motions of feeding and watering them and keeping their area clean, but the fun and enjoyeyment is gone. Lisa:( [Posted in FML issue 2878]
