Roommate Issue

[starmom]

We have ferrets so we know what the poo can smell like (trust me, I just cleaned their cage.) Ours are not litterbox trained, not even in their own cage. (We are in the process of training.) And so we make sure that all out of cage play is supervised (they let theirs run around at night in the room unsupervised while they sleep), and if there are any signs of impending poopage (backing up into a corner) we scoop them up and put them in the litterbox/cage. If we don't catch them in time, we clean up the poop. Simple, no?

My daughter use to have ferrets and sometimes training is not so simple! They are fast little buggers, and when you have more than one it can be a handful to litter box train them! She use to put a triangle litter box in every corner of her room to help them to figure it out (when they were outside of their multi-level cage). It became pretty hopeless though; they just weren't consistent with the location of their poopage!!

Ah well........................
