A demonstration with tips on litter training your ferret. Summary: -Use a large square pan. I like ones that lock onto the cage -Use a ferret safe litter. No…
yep if you get playful w them then they are up longer, we play ball, rattle
balls are a rave, of course I chase it more! We have a basket of toys Toby
can get into on the floor and drag around to if he doesn’t want to play w
me or Kyle. 90% of the time when we let him out he seeks us out to play! he
gets all hyper and jumpy, he is funny to play with! you get what you give
is what I was told by another ferret owner..
we clean toby’s whole litter pan out and wash it about every 4 days. we use
cell sorb pellets, { not the cat litter } we tried the marshells and it
smelled after 2 days! we scoop poop everyday when ever we see it in the
litter tray
is there a way to spend less money when you get the ferrets and supplies? i
had 2 ferrets for 2 days and i think everything cost 400 or 600 dollars im
geting 2 more ferrets soon…………………..pleese! respond
Is petco a good place to buy them I don’t care about the ferret mills but I
care about if they die sooner or are healthy I cant get one from anywhere
else 😕
hey, how often should I clean my ferret’s litter? I know I’m supposed to
clean it everyday, but I’m not sure as to what that cleaning refers, like
should I take out poop with a scoop daily? or should I change the whole
thing everyday?
ya my ferret zoe a one and a half year old girl will do it any where in the
house , i try to let her feel like she part of the family and can roam the
house and i also have litter pans where she will try them but then goes
every other place too. also having trouble getting her to use a bed she
likes laying on the ground under a blanket .
mine is very stubborn and will go on any flat surface even very small
spaces! he would go in bedding and on food and under his water! I tried for
weeks just watching him and placing him in the litter box/pan/ tons of
money spent on stuff that didnt help. I tried pellets and newspaper and
shredded newspaper and he would chew them! so i switched to a full bottom
box with wood chips and its the only thing that works, he doesnt dig in it
or eat it and goes in one side instead of everywhere. hes 2
Bad boys! Maybe try a different style of litter. You said he started
playing in it when you went to pellets. Some ferrets don’t like the texture
of pelleted litter. I believe Shwheat Scoop and Worlds Best cat litters are
similar in texture to traditional litter, and might help. Puppy pads can
also help cleanup while they’re still learning. I have to use them with
Wesley now because he refuses to use the box. >:l
The litter I used in this video is woodstove pellets, which you can get
from most hardware stores, and any place that sells woodstoves. I no longer
use that type of litter, but have switched to paper pellet litter, which
can be found at WalMart, Petco, and Petsmart
My girl ferret ladybug used the litter box fine and when I got patron my
boy he did to but now there both just goin everywhere we have 2 litter
boxes and they ever go outside it or another corner I even put another
fooddish there but they still do it what do I do

great demonstration. I found your video very helpful and love the idea of
putting the food water and bed in the other corners. Thanks for the tips.

The thumbnail you see before watching this video looks like the litter pan
is full of cheetos. Just sayin’
Jelitza Macias
Yes. Just cut down one side so that it makes it easier for the ferret to
enter and exit the litter box. But you can’t use cat litter though 😛

They get bored play’n w/same things. Switch’m out. Invent fun w/household
things. Bucket w/packing peanuts/shredded paper/old/mail or socks different
sizes/textures. Add 2/3 cutup (used) dryer sheets,they’ll smell pretty,
Dryer tube like tunnels they build, Find hidden toys let’m rehide’m. Red
rubber exer- cise band. Cut holes & doors in empty boxes/clean containers.
Take’m out- side. Sandbox w/damp sand. Hide fav toys under clear plastic
cups. Hacky sacks(check for holes). Deaf Ferret wake it.
