Piddle Pads® are for ferrets too!

Though many people associate the use of Piddle Pads® with dogs, they can be useful for ferrets as well. There are a variety of situations in which Piddle Pads® can be helpful. These include:

    Piddle Pads for Ferrets
  • When your ferret chooses a toilet area where a litter box will not fit
  • When your ferret is recovering from surgery and cannot climb into a litter pan
  • When you need to keep close track of your ferret's waste, such as after surgery or during an illness
  • When you have an older, incontinent ferret
  • When traveling
  • When your ferret refuses to use a litter pan
  • When you want to protect the carpet in front of the litter box

Piddle Pads® decrease clean up time, and they only need to be changed once a day. Most ferrets will use them without having to be trained as long as you put them in an established bathroom area. If your ferret views them as a toy, here are a few tricks you can try:

  • Place some stool on the pad
  • Use a frame to hold the pad in place
  • Place your ferret on the pad if he starts to back up next to it
  • Reward him with praise and a treat after he uses the pad
