Backing Soda??
As long as it doesn%26#039;t clump, it should be okay.





%26quot;The litter you choose should be absorbent, but not clumping. We use Yesterday%26#039;s News litter. Think: low dust. Most ferrets don%26#039;t much care what they poop on, so texture is usually not an issue (though some ferrets are finicky).





Why not clumping litter? Ferrets have been known to %26quot;snorkel%26quot; through their litter boxes (when they%26#039;re clean). Clumping litter can get in their eyes, nose, and mouth, dry up, and clump there! Also, ferrets usually scoot after they go to the bathroom -- this is a normal %26quot;marking%26quot; type behavior, not a sign of illness. If the ferret scoots in the clumping litter, the litter can stick to his anal area. This is especially true in kits, who often have some loose stools when changing from the pet store food to the food you choose to feed. Perhaps most important, ferrets are low to the ground and are more likely to pick up some of the clumping litter in their fur. When they clean themselves, they may swallow it. Knowing that ferrets are prone to intestinal blockage, it%26#039;s best to avoid any potential hazards, like clumping litter.%26quot; http://www.ferretnews.com/issues/ferret-...





Baking soda itself is not harmful to ferrets, as Marshall%26#039;s makes a dental gel for ferrets with baking soda in it.


%26quot;Marshall’s Dental Gel is pH balanced and formulated with baking soda and aloe vera. It gently and effectively cleans, polishes, deodorizes and soothes ferrets’ teeth and gums, and the fresh mint flavor creates cleaner-smelling breath%26quot;
