    They have canned ferret food at my local PetCo in the ferret aisle.

    Remember, every PetCo is different, they may not all have the canned food. DO NOT buy from an unclean petstore or a petstore where the animals look unhealthy.

    Mine, although not trained, went directly to the litter I had set up for her (the most convenient spot for me) and she has always gone there (something like 3-4 accidents in a year)

    They are a little difficult to litter train. They tend to pick their own corners that they want to go in, so just wait and see what their corner preference is.

    If they choose a corner they shouldnt be going in, like near a door, you need to be VERY diligent in training them.

    They are not actually that easy to litter train. They tend to poop and pee in any available corner.

    Feed them whole prey diets! Much better than crappy cat or ferret food.
