Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] Help with the smell
I've recently switched from Yesterday's News to common
woodstove pellets. The difference in smell is astounding. I am
allergic to my three ferrets and cleaning cages and dumping
litter would always bring on an asthma attack when I used
Yesterday's news. Now... nothing.
When the ferrets pee on the woodstove pellets, the water
soluble wrapping dissolves. The pellet is acutally compressed
sawdust, so the sawdust simply absorbs the pee.
You can buy woodstove pellets where you buy woodstoves. We get
ours in Kingston, Ontario (Canada) for $4.25 Canadian for a 40
pound bag.

My husband and I have been trying to find a litter that will
kill the smell. I mean what can make it at least a little
bearable..:( We use yesterday's news now and it just seems
to smell clean one day and like a poop factory the next.
What I was wondering is if you all have any special thing
you do to it to make the freshness last longer than three
hours..(jk) Also, I wanted to comment on someone's ferret
having aggressive behavior like the male was humping the
other ferret. My baby boy (3 yrs) has been biting my baby
girl (1 yr.) to the point she starts screaming. As soon as
he is put back into the cage again with her after time out
he is usually fine, until he gets that urge again. Though
when he does this, he doesn't make any "humping" motions,
just biting at the neck and wrapping his front paws around
her to pin her down... Thank you in advance for any help!
