ShaggyRS6 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Damn back is killing me bending over cleaning the cage out. As some of you know I had a disc taken out ye olde back a few years ago so bending is not high on my list of things I like to do. So see below for lazy man's guide to cleaning out a Ferret Cage Cant beleive I never thought of this before.

ShaggyRS6 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah, got one of those. What I have been doing FM is this...... Cleaning his buiness up every evening. Now he was doing poo's etc in the run which made it easy, then every week I would clean the half of the run where he has used, then sweep the other half of the run over that area and replace that area with fresh stuff (if that makes sense) then once a month I was gonna clean it all. Obvisuly cleaning the bedding every week also. What the little blighter has started doing for reasons unknown to me is started to poo right next to his food which is strange. We even cleaned that up and put the bowl on top of that area he still done it next to it. So now he goes in 3 places The garden Vac is for the sawdust and straw and I have rubber matting i need to put down in the sleeping area this weekend has he has decided to use that as well.

SAVAGE HMR Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 You could always get married, just get the wife to do it. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Done that a long time ago Savage. Unfortunately the longer you are married the less likely they are to follow orders. Evolution. You got to hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Wouldn't want to have to empty one of those bags if you forgot about it for a week. I think you may be better off leaving a bit of dirt to ensure that they always frequent the same corner, that way you know you're clearing it all up, and the rest of the court should be poop free.

ShaggyRS6 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yeah, I think my son is being a bit over efficient. He actually cleans it up twice a day. Good idea about leaving a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
