Thye size of the poops depends on how much the ferret is eating. A kit
up to about 6 months is eating like crazy to fuel the amazing growth
spurt they are in. Butt sliding is their way of wiping themself. If you
put the litter box on the edge of a piece of newspaper, they will put
the little dabs on the paper instead of your rugs.
