Things You'll Need:
- Ferret cage
- Litter box
-
Step 1
Keep the ferret's litter box in the corner of his cage. Once you choose a corner, leave it there to avoid confusing your ferret. Ferrets prefer to back into their litter box, so this is a good place for him to do so.
-
Step 2
As your ferret is learning to use his litter box, keep the cage a bit smaller than what you'd normally do. Litter training is less messy with less room.
-
Step 3
Until your ferret is litter trained, you should pick him up often and place him in his litter box until he goes. These frequent reminders will help him learn.
-
Step 4
Place your ferret in his litter box immediately upon waking from a nap.
-
Step 5
Keep a little poo in the litter box to remind your ferret that the litter box really is his toliet. This little stinky reminder may help him remember.
-
Step 6
If you catch your ferret backing into the wrong corner of his cage, firmly tell him no and place him in the litter box. Repeat this step as needed.
-
Step 7
Finally, anytime your ferret uses his litter box for the appropriate cause, praise him. Like children, ferrets like to be rewarded for a job well done.
