When the litter boxes are clean and dirty, he still won't use them. every t=
ime he wakes up and see's me, he starts to back into that spot. I pick up h=
is butt and put it in a litter box. Sometimes he will go there, but today, =
I think he faked it cuz a few minutes later, he was back in his own spot ag=
ain. This is just so frustrating! My oldest ferret had this problem when sh=
e was younger. But once she used the litter box, she always did. Why is it =
that my young one feels he doesn't need to use the litter box? Whenever I c=
lean the litter boxes, I usually just scoop it out or dump the whole thing =
and fill it up with more litter. So there is always still their smell there=
. I usually find that he has gone in his spot when I get home at night. But=
it only looks like one time. I'm sure he goes more than that during the da=
y, so why does he apparently go in the litter boxes when I'm not watching, =
but not when I am watching? Does anybody have any other techniques to get h=
im to use his litter box? Like I said, I already have bedding in the spot w=
here he goes, so why does he still go when it looks and smells like a bed?
