Ferrets will rarely use litter pan. HELP

Thursday, January 29, 2015 11:53 AM
We have two ferrets one 6 months, and one 5 months. Still pretty young, but they rarely use their litter pan. They will go around it, in every single corner of their cage, even just smack dab in the middle of it. Not sure how to get them to use it. Any suggestions???

Bring them down to one level.....ground floor.
Place a high back litter box/rectangle cat litter box on one side of cage.
On the other side of the cage: in one corner food bowl. Other corner water bowl/bottle.
Place low hanging hammock for them to sleep in.
Cover the floor with blankets/toys
Make sure all corners are covered.
Leave poop in litter box. Remind them it's the potty area. Once they start going, then you can scoop it out.
Don't be in hurry to put the shelves back. Make sure you re enforce this behavior.
Good luck
