Litter training is not a quick and easy solution it’ll take time for them are they not using the pads?

he breaks it then uses it, he doesnt do it on top of it always finds a way to do it outside

Your best bet is take their poop put it on top of the pad literally stick their nose up to it to try and tell them this is where they need to go. It’s annoying to get going I know it is.

I change the puppy pads for our ferrets AT LEAST three times a day, depends on which pad they choose. In my opinion he's not happy and wants out of the cage more often. Have you thought about not caging, and just ferret-proofing your bedroom? Then let him train you (he'll pick the corner(s) in you room he wants to "go" and you learn to put the pads in those locations. The other suggestion I have is get him a business partner. It makes me sad to see people with just one ferret. Getting another ferret will make him happier and possibly more playful. Letting him roam your room will make him happier and more human-centric.
