How do i litter train my ferret?

Question

okay.

i have a ferret who is almost 1 and i want to litter tryed and tryed but she wont.

i have a corner litter box and she will use it but only once. she will only p**p once in it and then she pushes it sheep poops in both corners and she will pee and iit will run down the whole bottom of her cage making it long and har for me to clean it. i cant always remove the p**p like over night or when im at school.

but what confuses me is that she will use her litter box once but use the same corner untill i clean it out.

Answer 1

if she uses it only once it's possible that the litter pan is too small. Ferrets don't like to have to walk over their p**p and pee to do their business. Try getting a larger litterbox, maybe one made for cats with a low front. My cat is the same way.

Answer 2

I put blankets on every level with pillowcases on the shelves so that the whole cage was like a bed to them. They never had an accident and I got my first one at 1 1/2 old my second 2 as kits both at 8 weeks old.

Mine hate their corner one and won't use it so I don't give it to them anymore. (It came with my first ferret)
