Ava is digging in her litter box!

[hellochicago]

My four-year old French Lop has recently taken to kicking out nearly all of the litter in her litter box!

Then she continues to dig.

She use to do this back in my old condo, but I discovered that it was due to me sweeping pellets of food, hay and littler back into the box.

We've recently moved and it seems to have picked up again. But I've stopped sweeping edible things into the box.

Any suggestions to get her to stop?

I let both of my babies out each night (they don't like to come out much during the day). They have plenty of chew toys, different veggies and personal brushing time (they love their brushings).

Does she have a dig box? Did you change litter right about when the behavior started again?

I've used the same litter since I got Ava. As for having an actual dig box, I don't have one.

Suggestions for building one for her?


Thank you!

Fraggles dig box is a small pet carrier with hay and straw in it. She enjoys digging in it very much.

Maybe a pot plant fill it with stuff or juts a cardboard box.

rocky used to do this and i found out it was because his mortal enemy is newspaper! LOL putting hay over the top stopped it

Ours love shredded newspaper and will spend hours moving it all around and digging.
