okay I recently bought a little female, who I named Belle. She is so much fun and cute and loves to play but I have one problem with her. She poops everywhere !!

She runs free in my room (for now) but she poops in 2 corners and no matter what I do she doesn't stop. I moved some of her bedding into one corner to try to get her to stop but she just goes on top of it now. I have 2 corner litter boxes set up for her and one big square one.

She is only about.. a month and a half old.. and she's started going on my bed as well !! I put her old poops in her litter box so she knows to go in there but it doesn't help much. She goes in there sometimes but not often. I use Care Fresh Pet Bedding as litter (I was told to use that). But maybe that is not a good choice ? I don't know what to do.

She just keeps going everywhere but where I want her to go and I'm trying to accomodate her but it's impossible ! lol

someone please help ? any suggestions are most appreciated !!
sorry about the long post !

I'm having the same problem - My little buy goes poop were ever he wants it seems. I have read making him go poo right when he wakes up but this isnt possible when you have a free roam ferret. I'm not sure how to fix this either. I am working on it though :-D My little guy goes fine when he is caged up, but when he is on free roam he doesn't go in the litter box (even when it is a small room)

Well guys, ferrets are like that. What you want to do is put litter boxes where they like to go.. not where you want them to.

Be consistant and you'll get it.

My two kids have the run of our living room (12' x 22') and we have 3 litter boxes outside of their cage.
