What kind of kitty litter are you using? Ferrets love to dig and get right into it, so that is probably why he is doing it.

some people use dig boxes, containers filled with safe dig-able substrate just for the ferrets amusement. mine arent huge diggers, but always manage to get as much cage litter from pan out of the litterrbox and onto my carpet as possible

.... clay kitty litter. Ferrets can ingest it, even accidentally, and it can cause a bowel obstruction which can mean surgery or death. Just a little FYI!

No, no- it was for Ninja tortoise. You've had ferrets for quite awhile and I expect know not to use clay litter!! I was just going in order of the posts so as not to offend anyone by butting in on the list.
Sorry!!! Nancy
