**HELP**litter box training (fuzzbutt with neural crest disorder)
-
Friday, June 30, 2017 12:50 PM
Hey there! So I've had ferrets for about 4 years now and have had no problem with litterbox training any of my fuzzies, until now that is. I have a nearly 5mo little boy named Pepper, and he has a neural crest disorder. So he is completely deaf and recently I learned that mental retardation can go along with the neural crest as well. So my little pepper, I clean his cage very thoroughly making sure corners that aren't the litterbox have no scent of pee/poo. I always leave a little bit of poo in his litterbox so he knows that's where he's supposed to go. I can be home with him all day sometimes but I work and will come home to find that he pooped in the litter once or twice and then pooped and peed all over the bottom of the cage and both of the platforms including corners where food and water are. I do my best to clean up accidents as he makes them but again I work and can't do that every time. I've never had this trouble before as I've never had a special fuzzbutt before. Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated ❤

You can ry cutting down one side of the box so it's easier to get in/out. We have a double ferret nation cage with 3 litter boxes because a couple ferts like to go on one of the shelves.

You can try covering the corners. For example: Put food in one corner, water in the other corner. Maybe a toy or bedding in the other corner. Have the litter box in the other corner. what type of litter box are you using? Usually the corner litter box are too small....they will not use them. I use a large high back litter box in my cage. Just suggestion, I hope this helps.
