We have had our bonded pair for around a week now, and they are settled in nicely. However, after I clean the litter box they literally poop and pee EVERYWHERE for 6ish hours. I spend this time cleaning up everything and putting it in the litter box basically whenever I walk past their area, which is fine when I'm home but that won't always be the case.
After this little stretch, they have very few accidents, poop or pee, until I clean the box again. I've been cleaning the box every 3-4 days. It's a 16 x 23 Rubbermaid with a pee pad on the bottom, pine pellet bedding, and hay. This is the same setup as they had in the foster. They even gave us the left over bedding, so it is exactly the same.
I guess I'm wondering if this is normal and going to happen whenever I clean it. It's super frustrating because they do so well the rest of the time. Should I be doing something different?
