:*Close the lid of the jar, shake it up, and take out a teaspoon of food and put it in the bowl. Do not leave her unattended while she eats, you must visibly observe her until she is finished so she doesn't fall and then gently put her back in the pen and rinse the syringe and bowl out in the hallway bathroom and put the unused food back into the pet room fridge. | :*Close the lid of the jar, shake it up, and take out a teaspoon of food and put it in the bowl.

* Biggest area of concern with ferrets are frequent litter pan changing. There is always a pan ready to go underneath the table in the pet room and vinyl gloves in the pet room closet. | |||
* Occasionally the ferrets may poop somewhere they aren't supposed to. Wearing gloves and using a paper towel remove as needed and spray area with the vinegar spray to neutralize the smell. | |||
* They will also occasionally drag the blankets down the ramp, pull back up and recenter as needed. | |||
* Since the ferrets are curious, they will be all over the bottom of the cage as you are doing this. This is where the already ready pan comes in handy. You take out a dirty pan, replace with ready pan immediately and close door. Place ferrets back in if they tumble out in a pan. | |||
* Use the poop scooper to clear out the poop and urine soaked pellets and discard directly into pet room trash. There is a bag of fresh litter to replace next to the table and extras in the pet room closet on floor on leftmost side. Mix/stir the pellets so the smell blends. Repeat until all pans have had the soiled areas removed. | |||
* The two ferrets in the office is just a single pan, replace with a ready pan same as above. | |||
