Re:litter training - 2008/02/04 09:47
I got one of those corner litter boxes for ferrets I found at PetCo, but you can use things like cookie sheets (with sides) or probably even a frisbee for that matter... just something that has sides to hold in the litter, poos, and pees... but not too high since hedgie needs to climb in and out.
Fill it with something other than what you use for her regular bedding (for example, I use vellux liners for her bedding and a combination of Yesterday's News & Carefresh in her litter box). I've read other people use aspen shavings, paper towels, etc...
When you find a poopie in her regular bedding, move it to her litter box. When she has that look like she "has to go" (tail is up), move her to her litter box to complete the process.

My problem more is her pooping on people. She poops on everyone she meets and usually she does it when I can't see her tail like when she crawls under something. She is making enemies among my friends. She also poops a massive string of poop like she saved it all up and then emptied at that very moment. The one today was like a quarter of the length of her whole body. Her cage poops are so tiny. Anyone have any advice?
When you first wake her up, putting her in a playpen, or temporary containment box (a small sterlite bin works great) and let her potty there prior to playing with her. See if that helps.
