When you say locate the tiolet, will you have to plumb it in?

Your ferret will choose its own toilet area, like Kay says I would imagine it will use the bottom area. When I had that hutch I used to get a plastic bag and pic out all the muck/ wee every day and clean it out properly once a week. If you have any ideas about buying a corner litter tray then dont bother - I did that and it didnt work at all, the little buggers just tipped it all over the floor Believe me, Ive learned so much about ferrets over the last year

I did that too and they just tore it to shreds!! Like I said, just pick the mess up daily and clean it out properly once a week.

Hay sould not be used in a sleeping compartment use straw or shreaded paper

Wood shavings on the floor, will soak up the mess & saves the wood floor a bit as well

I use hay in sleeping compartment and if there is too much they will drag it out, use wood chips for play/shite areas very cheap £5-6 a bale lasts ages, very absorbant and easy to change.

Here's what I did when I had that hutch, I used some stuff (Cant remember the proper name for it ) I bought at a big pet store that is like tea bag corners and lots of it in the sleeping area. I changed it once a month.

Forgot to say, I covered the floor areas with fablon just to save it a bit.

I did make this which seemed to work quite well in the toilet area - it really saved the floor from being ruined by all the urine. It was easy to take out once a week and wash too.
