FERRET LITTER

Most ferrets will learn how to use a litter box, which makes them an easier pet to care for.   Litter is made from a variety of sources.  Choice of litter should include:  ease of use, absorptive properties, odor reduction, cost, and most importantly – lack of toxicity to your ferret.

Ferrets have very sensitive respiratory tracts.   If you ferret has recently had surgery, you may wish to select a softer litter.

The following TABLE shows the different kinds of litter and discusses the PROs and CONs in using it for your ferret.
