I WANT TO SCREAM RIGHT NOW!!!

[Deleted]

but I can't because the kids are sleeping!!!

1. Ferretlax tastes like @ss

2. I go to say goodnight to the monsters and notice that someone (or two or three...or more) have decided not to use the litter box...the smell is horrendous! So I let everyone out and proceede to clean up the messes. I see that someone ( or two or three..or more) has decided to use the corner under the ramp seperating level one and level two as a potty corner so while I'm cleaning up I add a corner litter box to that corner because that's all that will fit there.... All is done and I start loading the fuzz back into the cage and the little SATAN ferret Sophie Ann goes directly to the new corner litter box and procedes to dig ALL of the litter I just put in there out! AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! I want to rip my hair out right now but I'd look awfully funny without it... I reach in to put the litter back and SATAN grabs my thumb and bite it....AAARRRGGHHHH!!!! It takes all of my patience not to scream and say fudge it, so I put a blob of ferretlax on my thumb (I'm out of tone and everyone is shedding like crazy here so the extra lax isn't going to hurt none) to try to keep SATAN busy and that works for all of .115 seconds she realizes that I'm putting the litter back in the corner pan and again lunges at me and bites my wrist, REALLY SOPHIE ANN??!?! I take her out and put her in the cat carrier so I can tend to the corner box....again... and find Slink curled up sleeping in it.....AAAGGGHHHH!!! So I go dig the plastic bag taht I just emptied all the poo into and put some poo into the corner box, after evicting Slink of course. All while catching escapee's and getting them back into the cage... Retrive Sophie Ann, get bit again because I put her in the cat carrier and quickly place her in with everyone else trying to avoid the waterfall of ferrets that is quickly devloping at my eye level.... yeah...awesome... BAttle with the ever flowing fur waterfall retreving Gabby who has crawled into my sweater, plopping Tai and Crumb into hammocks.....So I manage to get the door closed with out catching any tails, feet, or heads (SCORE!) look to find the weird scraching rolling sound and find Sophie ANn rolling in the poo I just placed in the corner litter pan and digging all of the litter out....again.... I give up! Oh and while I'm battleing with Sophie ANn, Slither decided to dig in the freshly filled water crocks, snorkling the whole way lifting her head and shaking water EVERYWHERE including my face....I use my hand to wipe the water from my face...and guess what I got....a blob of ferretlax....yummo

[katt]

hahaha Oh I'm sorry. I can just picture it so well in my head! Aren't ferrets great?!

[Deleted]

I swear Sophie Ann was put on this earth to torture me....

[Deleted]

EW! I can't imagine what that would taste like - well, what you said. How gross!

[Deleted]

and now Sophie Ann and guest (not sure who all I know is it's white) are sleeping in the corner litter box....umm guys, I didn't put that neat little box filled with litter and a few choice peices of poo for you to sleep in.... ugh!

[shilohismygirl]

Ferrets can be mega troublesome sometimes. Yesterday, I had to throw away my wonderful mattress topper. It goes on the bed like a fitted sheet, and somehow the fuzz figured out how to get under it. Oh goodness. They had dug out all of the filling from it-it was completely torn up. I guess that's natures way of saying, 'That little extra bit of comfort there, you didn't need it anyway'.

[Sherry]

Oh, no, Rose! I don't mean to laugh- really not But yeah, I can see the whole thing, too

[Deleted]

Aw, Rose! Im sorry you had to go through all that... I can't help but giggle a bit, though

[Heather]

I"m so sorry but you've provided me with my chuckle for the day. Don't feel badly though, I've been there (especially with the biting and the litter boxes :: and even if you note...the poopies too )


I'm so sorry that your little "Daughter of Satan" still feels the intrusion so hard. I have to admit that even now, if I had reached into the cage to handle a litter box or blankets that Fun-Go will sink his teeth into me. I think when dealing with them in this manner that it's also viewed as an intrusion to their private territory. He also still takes offence to being in a time out cage and that too will result in a severe bite.
So, even though I'm laughing it's more because I see myself and the frustrations you were going through have been mine

Heather, those boxes do look a bit comfy They seem very content sleeping there.

[Heather]

I have a number of photos like those two, which is one of the reasons why that particular litter box has since been retired. I'm not a big fan of the triangle boxes, they seem to provide "sleepy spots"
ciao

[littlewiseowl]

I know how you feel. lol

Minus the biting part, but the non-litter box pooping and the litter digging and the overall frustration... Yeah, I know how that feels. lmao

I totally feel your pain.

[Deleted]

Yeah, I'm trying to litter train my two while out of the cage... It is extremely frustrating!

Ferrets are the most stubborn animals EVER.

[dookdook]

That's too bad, but I agree, I can't help but chuckle!

[Deleted]

I can look back at last night and laugh, but last night while I was trying to wrangle everyone and dodge bits, I was so not a happy camper!!
