does anyone know if my ferret is a panda coat?? i really cant tell if he might be a warrdy but he is 100% deaf

hi guys, i got my ferret snoopy (male) in november and i've been trying to potty train him since. he goes in his litter box in his cage perfectly fine, but when it comes to him free roaming, he just refuses to go on the liners.

he's also deaf, and extremely picky--he doesn't even like salmon oil or want to try anything new other than the food hes already on; he'd literally rather starve 😭 so im not able to reward him whenever he goes potty in the right spaces, and i can't like get his attention with my voice, so its just been really frustrating.

his choices of potty always change, he refuses to pee in corners and has decided to randomly just go potty in the middle of the floor or even under the dining table (which has ruined the floorboards 💔)

even if i catch him attempting to go in the wrong place and redirect him to where he's meant to, he insists he doesnt have to go potty anymore and i'll literally watch him go to the middle of the room and try to pee there instead. putting him in 5 minute timeouts after these mistakes doesn't register anything for him either.

reasonably so, my parents are frustrated although we love him so unbelievably much and i feel absolutely lost on to what to do. i feel like i've tried everything at this point. i'd really love any advice especially dealing with deaf ferrets.. :,)
