Fuzzies are home :D

Yes diet will take care of the smell. Koda smells like vanilla, hay, and warm fur. Kenai....well he's a special one, and he tends to walk through his own poop and roll in the feeding den, so he typically has a bit of a funk to him. But even he smells like roses and daffodils compared to ALL of the kibble fed ferrets I have met.
And the Potty Training Boot Camp Sherry linked is great. I know many people have given in and put a litter box on each level of their age but quite frankly, I refuse. They CAN be trained to use only one litter box, it might just mean putting more work and time into their training. Very worth it IMO though. I know some have stubborn babies but that's just me. My ferret Kenai is a little...special. He's delayed. Anyways, he still poops on the shelf on occasion but usually it is because he is throwing a tantrum, about something (like if I leave for a weekend I almost always come home to see that he has pooped on he shelf). In general though even he does well in the cage. (Out of the cage is another story where Kenai is involved. He tends to....forget things... ).

Welcome to the forum!

I do have another question - do any of you microchip your ferrets? I work at a vet clinic and can get it done fairly cheap even with a local anesthetic so they don't feel the needle. Is it a good idea to do in case they happen to get out somehow? Does it cause any health problems in ferrets with them being so small?

Microchipping is about the best investment for your ferret you will make. It's so easy for a ferret to escape with just a momentary lapse on someone's part. At least that way if another person finds the ferret, there's a chance they'll take them in somewhere and it can be read.
