i have 2 ferrets in a large tall cage, one uses the bottom left side to do his business and the other uses 3 out of 7 shelfs to do his business. how can i get him to stop using the shelfs (where the world can see) and use the bottom like his cage mate does. we use the same stuff on the bottom like the pet shop does and they both love it. they will lay down in the stuff (on the right side of course) please all the help someone can give is greatly helpful.
buy a cheap spray bottle they have them for like 99 cents and a big bottole of vinager clean the shelves very well and soray them with the vinagar well you will have to redo this since the wire and shelf will still have the poop smell but they hate the smell of vinagar you can try getting your fereet it's owl litter box I know my 2 go in different cornors
I did do this with mine and took some time but it worked for me
thank you so much i'm going to try this. i'll wash down everything from shelves to the wire cage part too. i sure hope it works. what is a safe thing to use to scrub the shelfs with (detergent wise)

Bleach is fine but you have to let it completly dry befor you put you ferrets back in I have a small cage that I use for when I wash the condo. I put the ferrets in the small one take the condo outside scrubit down well with hot water bleach and a scrub brush. I also use my pressure washer since the powerfull stream of water gets into all the little spaces and I amn ot useing that much water then leave it there to dry some.
