So I know the potty boot camp and what not, but I need some suggestions here. Koda has always been pretty much perfect - for a ferret - with potty training, We had some out of cage issues at Shane's house, but at home we never had issues, and he learned quickly at Shane's once we put out more litter boxes. Keani is a totally different story, and he is encouraging bad habits in Koda as Koda seems to think Kenai's poop is a "contamination" and will not use the out of cage litter boxes after Kenai. They are not having poop wars anymore, but they are still not doing great. Also, after the havoc left behind by my roommate, I feel it is best to start from square one. Right now they have been in the bottom level only of the FN since the 1st. Koda learns faster than Kenai, so it makes me sad holding him back because of Kenai's issues, but it's only one cage so you know. :/ Anyways, they are doing good so far *knocks on wood* so how long should I wait in between adding each privilege? I intend to go slow and be very firm. No privileges until all poops are in the box. Any accidents and back to square one. The next step I want to take is to put in the shelf of the bottom level, then some hammocks (they need the shelf to reach the hammocks), then the top level. The shelf was Keani's naughty poop spot of choice, so that is going to be the key piece I think. I tossed the old shelf cover, and soaked the shelf several times in bleach and scrubbed it several times. So I hope that helps. But how many good days should I wait before putting the shelf in, and then how many days until the hammock?
