Answer 3

It's in your ferrets nature to p**p in the corner - that's what they do.  You need to get a few litterboxes and put them in the corners (not all, just some).  When the ferret poops out of the box, scoop up the p**p, put it in the litterbox, and show him where it's at, so he'll know.  After a few times, he'll get the idea, and start going in the boxes on his own.  NO CLUMPING CLAY CAT LITTER - use Yesterday's News litter - it won't harm the ferret's respiratory system.

You can use Nature's Miracle to clean the area where he pooped - any scent of p**p left behind and he'll go there again, so soak the area thoroughly and clean it deeply.  Put a stuffed animal in that corner after cleaning to discourage pooping there again.

Patience - it'll work, I've had great success with mine.

Sour spray will make your ferrit sick if it eats it. I would just put vinigar; its less likely to make your ferrit sick.
