It's hilarious to me that ferrets are smart enough to fake poop to be let out, but they don't give any effs about bothering to go back to the cage to poop.

GIMME. THOSE. WALL. TUBES.

Ill copy and paste the comment I left about what worked for my ferrets. Also I would buy a a good pee cleaner with enzymes to get rid of any odor in the house. If they smell it in a corner, they will keep using the area as a bathroom. I use OUT! Stain and Odor Remover...its awesome. You can get it at Walmart or on Amazon. You can even put it in laundry. :) " I have some tips to share! When you get a new animal there is always a trial and error period before figuring out what works. My ferrets have always done great with using the litter box in their cage...but not so much when they are let out. They had three favorite spots to go on my wood floors. I tried putting litter boxes in those spots but they would just push the litter box out of the way (or play in it) and then go on the floor beside it. (I don't know how anyone uses puppy pads...mine just play with those or steal them lol). I didnt think it was a big deal because I would clean it up right away. But recently I noticed the house would start smelling like pee any time i mopped. I took up the floor boards where they had been going...and found that the urine had soaked through even though I had been cleaning it up quickly. (It took a year for it to get that way.) So I replaced the bad boards and the backing underneath and set out to find a fool proof solution...and I found it! I just bought some VERY thick silicone pads from Amazon (Ill leave the link). They are made for putting under a litter box. I worried that the ferrrets would chew them up or move them...but they can't! These pads are so thick that even if they chew on them they can't leave bite marks! And they are too heavy for them to run off with lol. I just place the pads in their favorite potty spots and waah laah! Problem solved! They now potty directly on the pads and my floor is safe. I just clean it up after they go! Here is the Amazon link if anyone is interested www.amazon.com/dp/B019ZSDDOC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. I also agree with what she said about having them go in their litter box before being let out to play. That works great for my boy ferret. My girl has a one track mind though and if she knows its play time all she cares about is being let out of the cage. I take her to her potty spot outside of the cage and have her go there before playing and that works for her. They also will not potty on their beds. I have several large beds for when they are outside of the cage. If there is place they try to potty that I dont want them to go on, I just put a bed there and that keeps them from using that spot as a bathroom. Placing a blanket or rug there usually works also." Good luck! :)

I don’t have a ferret lol but ferrets are my dream pet!

I have kept ferrets for nearly 15 years and this is exactly what I do with my ferrets. Nice to see some ferret content on KZread.

Hi my name is Chris and I used to have 2 female ferrets and in the bottom of the cage I would put down cedar on the metal base. And on the hard wire I would use regular carpet in the cage and walk ways. And my Mom would clip their nails we would use Ferret Tone or the other brown liquid gel. Also on occasion give Banana if I was eating or banana chips

I currently have 4. The only one that needed potty training was the 1st out of the 4. He was the lone ferret for about 6 months. We had a little cage for him & he knew he wasn't allowed to come out until he pooped..... So he started faking it. Lol. Even now, he's gunna be 5 in March & all of them have been free roam for about 3½-4 years. But he knows he's not coming downstairs with me until he poops. So when I say, "Buddy, go potty." He'll back his butt up, lift his tail halfway, wait about 1 second & walk away. I can tell when he's actually trying or just trying to humor me by his tail & he squats a little when he's actually gunna go. He also leaves something behind on the puppy pad when he really goes. Lol. He's the only one, since as ferret math happened, the newest addition would just go where the older one(s) went. So he was really the only one who was potty trained. We did both corner litter pans & puppy pads. We would take them with us if we went to see my mom & since people don't tend to have a litter pan hanging around, puppy pads are very convenient to throw a couple in your purse & throw them away when you leave. So we trained with both. After we got the 3rd ferret though, the litter pan would be full after 3 hours, so it was easier & cheaper to switch to puppy pads. Plus, they can wipe their butts after they go on the pad instead of my carpet. Lol.

Instructions unclear. My house is covered in poop

First, I guess I need to thank you for our new addition to our family. My daughter fell in love with your videos and ferrets and been asking me for one for months. I finally got her ferret last week for Xmas. Is just us 2 and I can see already how much happiness her new ferret has brought her. The ferret (Penny) is only 4-month-old and she training to train her but there is something particular with her. She does NOT like to poop on the pads. I don't know why but she will move them before pooping. She will even wait for me to clean the cage, it will hold her poop until I close the cage and she is able to move the pad away and do it in the corner. ☹ the pee goes under the pad, poop between the cage and the floor. is madness! This video was so helpful, Thanks!

My ferrets didn’t get the memo on this. My 5 month old poops everywhere he wants, even a few inches away from his food and water dishes. I think he laughs at me while I clean it all up. BTW, where did you get that cool food and water dish?

My daughter's ferrets always go to sleep under the back corner of our massive couch, they can't be retrieved. We have 2 litter box locations & 2 feed stations. One always goes to box but the other one doesn't. Ferrets bring so much joy, I cannot in good conscience keep them in a cage so we set up a pen for them but when they are "trapped" together they fight and hiss at each other, outside the pen they are perfectly friendly & playfully interacting. Thank you for all your great information.

I put the pad down and he acts like it’s his mission to destroy it

Try taping it down or adding litter on top!

What's funny about cats is once they are weaned, there are pretty rock solid with litter boxes. I'm thinking of getting a ferret soon and so potty training is a big concern. Great video!

Your channel is a life saver. Google simply does not do ferret training justice and your experienced tips have been a gigantic help for our boys we got!

We didn't cage our ferretts so that method was a nonstarter. When they were young we let them sleep at night in an open travel cage, with a poo box nearby. The interesting thing for us is we used vocals in potty training. Every time I brought the ferret to a poo box I would say "Gå på do" which means go to the bathroom in norwegian. we picked up with the treats for good behaviour as you describe. As they got older, I could look right at my ferret and say gå på do, and it would run to the litterbox. As you say, after a while one gets to know when a ferret has to go so when I wanted him to take a poo break, I would tell him. Sarek was really good with it. Some mistakes we made were poo boxes that had a lip that was too high, but I started to use winter shoe mats. I wonder if others have been able to verbally train their fuzzballs

Omg yes it worked !! Ty !

Great advice!!!

I’m planning/hoping to get a couple ferrets by the end of the year, so these vids should hopefully be helpful. I’ve told a few of my relatives of my plan and most of them seem uncomfortable or even grossed out by it, apparently my aunt thinks they’re too vicious; I tried to argue that they’re really just like smaller cats, but they weren’t convinced (but they won’t be living or caring for them so it’s not their business, really.)

Thank you for convincing me there is no reason as to why I should not get ferrets. Your work is great and professional, and I love the research behind all your videos. Have a great day!

this video is great! in the past I also owned ferrets and maybe we'll adopt some if the house is ready. my litter training was a little bit different: in rooms I let them start at the litter box and then watched them close and put them to the back to the box when they we're going to poop at the wrong place. And I didn't treat them much... so they can learn using the right box, but it has to be the right box and place... thats the importants thing.

Excellent tips! Egads, I learned the hard way. (RIP, Minnie).

Haley pls post a video about Ferret diet

It's also very important to mention those triangle litter boxes they push at Petco are only good for the first year with most ferrets which will out grow it by then. I took a plastic storage bin and cut it into shape with a high back/low front, and my ferrets started using it right away.. I have two of those in the cage (double ferret nation) which I scoop morning and night (I have five ferrets) and use puppy pads in corners around the house.

My female has finally found the litter pan. Oh what a relief

When I got my ferret it was young and had never been potty train and struggle to understand where to do its poop so I would stay with him and when he would start to settle to poop I would gently putting him in the litter in a week he understood it is where you do your poop ,I only had one so he had no sibling to show him it also was a good experience for it as i would praise it the moment he was in the litter he never had an accident wich is also a tecnic to potty train them I would also clean daily to make sure he was comfortable I dont say it work for all ferret I only share how I learn to potty train my ferret so basically is the same except the teaching process Remember everyone love and patience is the key to healthy bonding and teaching for any pet

This video was perfect! Potty trained within just a few days of bringing our boy home! I thought it was going to be more difficult as he came from a gross pet store where is was living in his filth. Poor baby!

Very informative video. Wish you would have been around at the start of our Ferret adventure. We use paper bedding in the cage vs. a litterbox. It works also but is more mess and maintenance. Instead of litterboxes and pads outside of the cage we use Bounty Paper Towels in the potty corners. This has worked out well for us and is less expensive than pet pads. Sometimes our girl though just will poop where she wants to. Ferrets are highly independent and somedays our wakes up and just looks at you and you know its gonna be a 'bad ferret' day. She has attitude. It's fleeting though and ordinarily she's very easy to care for and to love.
