However, you can usually take their word for it, and can request the shelter operator to put down the date and type of vaccination on paper for you. Rabies vaccines can only be given by a veterinarian. Once you have ascertained that the ferret is protected, you will simply need a yearly booster shot for both distemper and rabies. Litterbox Training Ferrets can be trained to use the litterbox. This means you may occasionally get a little present in the corner of the room.
Some ferrets even go out of their way to move the litterbox and go behind it.
You must be prepared to spend several hours to several months litter training, and the more attention you can give it, the more likely you will have a litterbox trained ferret. When litter training, the best way is to start the ferret out running around in a small room, such as a bathroom, and work you way out from there. Ferrets will generally go within a few minutes of waking up, or after eating. When you first wake the ferret up, place him in the litterbox. Do not let him out until he has gone.
