Ron Weasley 83 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Woodshavings! Spread them throughout, and in the bed, I'd personally use shredded paper or hay. Clean it out regularly (take the poop out daily) and you can't go far wrong! Quote Link to post

Coatesy900 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Use old clothes for bedding, they arn't dusty like some substrates, can be reused by just sticking them in the washing machine when they start to smell, and can also be a good toy Quote Link to post

Clean it out regularly (take the poop out daily) and you can't go far wrong! Thats what I do too. You probably already know this - but just in case you dont; Don't use any disinfectant that goes white in water as it can be fatal for ferrets. Good luck, best thing I ever did was get my ferrets!

Malt 379 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 breeding your own ferret food? lol god no the girlfriend would kill me! lol! tempting though! Rats make great pets, better ferret food though.... Only joking, I've had quite a few pet rats! I got some other stuff from pets at home, it's a lot stronger than the spray stuff, I cant remember what it's called at the moment, I'll post a pic of the stuff tomorrow. It's quite good stuff, it doesn't smell very strong, but hell it's good, as soon as I clean the floor in my court, the stink of ferret shite vanishes Quote Link to post
