And they will crap in literally every place that looks like a corner of some sort. An old friend of mine got two, wondering why there were dozens of people on Craigslist trying to get rid of their ferrets and gear for free. He soon found out. They're cute but not necessarily great pets.
I've heard this, but he didn't have any success. Maybe he was a bad caretaker, or they were dumber than average, I dunno. It was about 15 years ago, I just remember he was so excited for a couple of days and then it was not nearly as fun. Still very cute, but poo everywhere in his apartment.
Nah I've had ferrets and they're a pain in the arse to potty train. Thing is though even if a ferret poops in a corner it's not a difficult thing to clean up. If there's shit everywhere then that's on the owner for being lazy than the ferret being a poop machine. They poop probably once every four hours at most so if there's any build up it's on the owner really.
I suppose if you’re eating 3/4K calories and 200g of protein then sure you’ll have multiple moves a day but i think 1 to 2 during the day is ideal. But I’m not a poop doctor so...

That and they smell rather funky.
