Ferret litter box training can be a bit tedious, but with a little patience and consistency your ferret should quickly learn how to use a litter box.
I recommend getting a litter box with a high back. There are litter boxes made just for ferrets. I also recommend limiting the ferrets space when litter box training. I only allowed my ferrets in the bottom portion of their ferret nation cage while litter box training. This helped them learn to go to the bathroom in the litter box and not the corners of the cage.
I also made sure they used the bathroom before letting them out to play. Ferrets back up and lift their tails when they use the bathroom. If you have your ferrets out and running around keep an eye on them and look for this behavior. If you see them back up and lift up their tails/butt, pick them up and place them in the litter box.
Over time your ferret will catch on. Ferrets are smart and they figure out what you want pretty quick in my experience.
Also, praise your ferret every time they use the litter box. You can do this with treats or just a simple âgood jobâ. And remember, your ferret may never be perfect at using a litter box. There may be times they have accidents or just donât use the litter box. If this happens, clean it up and move on. Scolding your ferret will not help, especially after the accident happened.
I use paper pellet litter, there are other options available that are ferret safe, but itâs recommended to stay away from litters that are made with silica or clay, and to avoid corn, wood shavings and rabbit food, as they can be dangerous for your babies.

As a ferret owner, I can confirm shit happens lol
Some ferrets will have less accidents if you can use pee-pads. My ferrets seemed to like peed-pads better since they can easily back up into a corner and donât need to climb a litter box. To make less of an environmental impact, you can find fabric pee-pads that are very easy to wash and dry.
Thatâs great advice! I definitely think itâs worth trying different litter/bathroom area options to see what works best. Iâve done the reusable pee pads, the regular pee pads and the litter đ. My babies donât have very many accidentsâŠ.thankfully, but my oldest likes to go right in front of the litter boxes now days, probably because itâs easier on his little old body. So I put pee pads under the two litter boxes he uses and itâs works great.
