Ware Manufacturing Lock-n-Litter Box—Ferret Litter Pan Review

Ferret Litter Boxes— a Frustrating Subject for Many Ferret Parents!

If you have a ferret, you know the challenge of litter training a ferret! The right ferret litter box can make all the difference. The Ware Manufacturing Lock-n-Litter Box may be the answer to ferret litter box challenges.

As you probably know, ferrets are very particular about where they do their business. As hard as you may try to encourage your ferret to “go” in a particular place, in a particular box, you’re at his mercy. Ferrets select their preferred bathroom location—generally a corner. 

You’ll soon discover which corner that is (preferably in his cage). Knowing that, the next challenge is to find the best ferret litter box. Again, your ferret will have his say in this choice. Ferret litter box training is all about your ferret’s preferences.

Features Important to You and Your Ferret 

The Ware Manufacturing Lock-n-Litter Pan has a lot of features that will prove to be important to you and your ferret.  

I tried using all different kinds of litter boxes—cat litter boxes, ferret litter boxes and “let’s try this” litter boxes. I found the important characteristics for my ferrets (as well as most others) is:

  • Fits easily in the corner of the cage
  • Has a high back
  • Can be secured to the cage 
  • Easy to remove and replace for cleaning
  • Easy to clean
  • Not too big and not too small

That’s a lot of requirements! If only ferrets could be as easygoing as cats about their litter pans. But since this is far from the case, I’ve gathered some valuable info for the Ware Manufacturing Lock-n-Litter Box (a popular choice for ferrets) and put together a review. I hope you find it helpful.
