Mine won't use the triangle corner pans... I recommend buying a full square box. You can use newspaper pellet litter, or a corn based litter. I prefer the corn based litter because it is easier to scoop.
When you can afford food, mix 1/4th with 3/4ths marshall for a week or so, then do 1/2 and 1/2... and then keep it that way. It's good to mix 2-3 dry foods, just in case one stops being produced. I personally mix Evo ferret food and Marshall senior diet for my babies.
Also, look for a good exotic vet right now, one who is familiar with ferrets! Your ferrets need a rabies vaccination by law, and canine distemper is the second vaccination they should get.
I'd start saving money for emergency medical costs, I don't know where you are, but a check up for both my ferrets is about $100. I've spent a few thousand dollars on their health bills in the past 3 years that I've had them (one has adrenal disease, the other had to get her gallbladder removed).
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. :)
My fuzzies enjoy nibbling on anything rubbery, but I've never actually had them be diligent enough to chew through it. If you're worried, use this. It tastes awful, so she will eventually learn to avoid the nasty tasting cord. If you do use this, don't just spray it, the particles will go everywhere and you'll end up tasting it. Daub some onto a paper towel and wipe down the cord.
As for the zip ties, look at them. Is she tearing pieces off? If so, she could swallow them and you obviously don't want that. If they're sturdy enough that she can't do any damage, I think you'll be fine.
I petsat someone's ferret who enjoyed scratching and biting at the carpet immensely, but my two fuzzies show no interest in that. So you'll just have to watch and see what she does.
Other tips:
I believe it's pretty commonly accepted that ferrets prefer water bowls to water bottles. Would you want to drink water by flicking up a little ball and getting one drop at a time?
Look at this if the zip ties are a problem, then you won't need them.
