Does anyone know why my ferrets are pooing in there own bedding? They've recently moved into a spacious,double storey hutch that has two nest boxes at the top and a run at the bottom where the food is and where theres a small mesh corner for the toilet.
I can understand them not doing it in the mesh corner and I wouldnt mind them doing it in the adjacent room witch is bare but I didnt think they liked fouling there own nests.
The room with the bedding isnt too large and I even stuffed it with more bedding to discourage them but they dont seem to care.
They are two young,healthy Gills who get on fine with each other. I dont know if it's one or both of them doing it and one of them has just been mated and may be pregnant. I've searched the internet about this but as far as I can see,my ferrets are unique in that they're too lazy to bother getting out of bed to poo.
