So, your ferret needs a little training? Unlike dogs, there is no obedience school for ferrets – but they are intelligent creatures, and they are very easy to train. This is something that you can easily do yourself with a little know-how and a lot of patience.
The first thing you will want to train your ferret to do is to use the litter box – obviously. Luckily, this is very easy to do, because ferrets have very specific bathroom habits. First, a ferret needs to relieve himself upon waking, and again after eating or drinking.
Second, when a ferret is about to do his business, he seeks out a corner – which is where you want to position the litter box. The ferret will back into the corner, as opposed to walking straight in it, so you will know what he is about to do. All you have to do is put the litter box in the corner he has chosen, or immediately pick him up – before he relieves himself – and carry him to the litter box. That’s all it really takes – and before long, he will know where he is supposed to go.
