litter training issues - Monday, September 08, 2014 9:00 PM
The litter boxes is in one corner, food and water in other corners and a sleep sack in the last corner. What do they do? Move the water dish just out of the corner enough to poop there. What am I missing?

Can you move the litter box into the corner they selected?

What kind of litter box do you have?  a corner one, or a square/rectangular one?

It's a corner one, and they pooped both in it, and n the corner where the water bowl had been. I've got a litter that's pellets of recycled newspaper type stuff

It's a corner one,

Many ferrets don't like the corner litter boxes.  I'd try a larger square/rectangular one instead.

I'll have to try it, given that now they've taken to pooping at the flat edge where the door of the cage is. I seem to be fighting a losing battle.
