Okay, again this is just a suggestion, this is what I did with Winston and he was a breeze to train. He never, not once, from day one, went potty in the house...he is trained to go outside only. A dog trainer suggested to me the day I brought him home, to take him directly to the spot I wanted him to potty. His paws were not allowed to touch my floors until he went potty outside. Yes, it took awhile, but he finally did it...then came the praise the "party" so to speak. I purchased a ferret cage, not too big to potty in the corner, yet not so small that he didn't have room to move around and play. I took the top off, so I could easily put him in or pick him up. I moved the cage from room to room with me...so if we were home, he was always right there with us. We both work 8-10 hours 5 days a week, so he spent a great deal of time alone in his cage in the kitchen...where we eventually transitioned him to without the cage. He is 10 years old now and still is gated in the kitchen when he is alone. Don't give Milo too much freedom...at his young age, he doesn't know what to do with it. As time goes on, he'll earn his freedom to roam a little bit each day. I'm telling you this works. Confine him...he will spend most of his time sleeping...then give him your full attention with grooming, training and of course cuddling. Keep me informed how he does...he needs structure, a schedule...sleeping, playing, eating, and going potty. He's smart...he'll get it before you know it and will be able to have run of the house.
