Ferrets are very loyal and loving little critters, but you will have to litter train them, as when need to go, they have go - if you get my drift! Ferret litter training is actually very easy, once you know their natural habits.
When you are deciding on what litter trays to get your ferret, opt for open ones, as closed ones just will not do. There are only two litter types, that I would recommend putting in your ferret litter trays, and they are clumping litter and wood chip litter. You should be able to purchase both of these from your local pet shop. You only have to put a layer of litter to cover the bottom of the litter box for a ferret, not fill it up, as you would for a cat. If your ferret is young, there is a possibility that it might decide to play in the litter tray. This should not cause you too much concern, as once the ferret realize through training, what the litter tray is for, it will stop playing there. You may have noticed I mentioned litter trays in the plural earlier, this is because you are likely to need more than one! One will need to put in your ferret's cage, and others will need to be strategically placed in corners of rooms, where your ferret roams free. Ferrets naturally go into to corners when they need to 'go'. Ferrets actually give us an indication of what they intend to do, when it comes to toilet habits! Instead of just going into a corner, they back into it. A ferret will just do its business and will not bury or dig holes for their 'messes', so it would be wise to change the litter trays on at at least a daily basis, to keep everything fresh. Now you know to look out for your ferret reversing into the corner, when it does it, pick the ferret up and pop them into the litter tray. Your ferret is an intelligent little critter, and will soon associate the litter tray with where it needs to 'go', and it will actively seek it out. You must never tell off or discipline your ferret, if it does its business in the wrong place, because the sensitive little souls will think that them relieving themselves, is what angers you, resulting in them worrying that they will anger you every time they need to go about their business. Another great hint in teaching your ferret use the litter tray is learning when your ferret is likely to need to 'go'. When a ferret first wakes up, they will need to relieve themselves, so while you are training them, you need to put them in the litter tray, as soon as they wake up. The next trick is to keep them there until they have relieved themselves. Ferrets have little digestive systems so what goes in (food or water) will come out relatively fast. So after it has ingested anything make sure there is a littler tray on hand nearby. A lot of excitement can also make a ferret want to go, but do not worry too much after just general playing. As your ferret is very intelligent, the process of litter training should not take very long at all - just a few days. Your ferret will soon learn what a litter tray is for, and where it is expected to go, if it needs to relieve itself.
