I can just imagine! Ferret heaven for them.  I let mine out when I get
home.  I used to leave them out for the whole nights and weekends as they
were litter trained. Lately though they don't "go" were they are supposed to
if I leave them out long time.  I can't have that here.

So now,  I come home and feed them lightly (just a snack), then I'll let
them out to play for about an hour.  During this time, they WILL use the
litter papers.  After an hour, they tire and will sleep in their secret
places.  If I let them do that, they will pee/poop in the wrong places
later.  So I put them back in cage after an hour.  I'll let them out again
later for the same hour.

I wish ferrets were like cats....you could leave them out all the time with
no bathroom issues.  They love to be out but I just can't have accidents on
a daily basis.
