Introduction
A litter-trained ferret means less mess and easier cleaning. While ferrets aren’t as naturally inclined to use litter boxes as cats, with the right setup and a little patience, you can have a ferret that uses its litter box consistently.
Choosing the Right Litter Box
A good litter box should fit in the corner of your ferret’s cage. Look for one with high back walls to prevent mess. Avoid dusty clay litters — these can cause respiratory issues.

- Move Accidents to the Box – If your ferret goes outside the box, place the waste in the litter box so they recognize it as the bathroom.

Troubleshooting
If your ferret keeps going in the wrong spot, block that area off or place another litter box there.
Final Thoughts
Litter training isn’t instant, but most ferrets can learn within a couple of weeks if you’re consistent and patient.
