DIY Pee Pad Disaster? I Tested Them for a Week!

I made DIY reusable pee pads for my ferrets… and then chaos hit. In this video, I show you how to make homemade puppy pads. Then I test them for a whole week – revealing what worked, what didn't, and how much money & mess I actually saved. Were they absorbent enough? Did they hold up in the wash? And most importantly… did my ferrets actually use them? Thank you to @tritonvolant for the idea! 🧵 Materials list 💩 Results after 1 week of testing 💸 Cost vs. kitty litter 😅 Real-life poop zone footage Would you try making your own?
