nivek65 4 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 i have 2 six week old ferrets, the problem is how do i stop the craping in the bed compartment, there is a separate bit at the other en of there hutch for doing there mess, i keep on cleaning the sleeping quarters out and then they crap in in it again, they go to the other end aswell, any way i can stop them from doing this, or will they grow out of it as they get older Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 It will stop doing it eventualy but if you want it to stop now try making his sleeping area a little bit smaller for now. Quote Link to post
happyferret123 13 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 One of mine used to do that. I put in a litter tray and every time they went I moved it into the litter tray and really cleaned the original area so it wouldn't smell, after a couple of days of doing this they got the message and moved over to using the litter tray. Good luck! Quote Link to post
The one 8,547 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 You might need to bleach it ,to get rid of the smell then make it smaller .but as they get older they shouldn't shit near where there sleeping Quote Link to post

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Don`t clean it all out of the hutch,, move some shit to the area you`d prefer them to crap in,, that sometimes helps them associate certain areas with shitting! ATB Quote Link to post

B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Mine used to shit in a corner of the run so I built a makeshift litter tray and put shavings in it. Then the little buggers started shitting somewhere else. I just scooped the shit into the litter tray and they got the idea straight away. Quote Link to post
