Issue
I'm having a real hard time litter training penny!
I placed the corner litter tray where she 1st pee'd in her new cage and while she uses it okay.. she doesn't use it every time! She tends to pee in the corner where there is no litter tray as well. Even worse is when she comes out of the cage she drops poopies like they're sprinkles all over my carpet =(
Background Info
- I've placed hay above and around her litter
- I've cleaned the corner where I don't want her to pee with white vinegar
- I place her back in her cage when she poops outside
- I put her poopies into her litter almost every single time she drops them
- She has a small designated play area in my room for the purpose of litter training
- I removed her cage liner so she wouldn't have anything absorbent to pee on..
She has NOT been spayed yet but I'm hoping she'll get learn to use her litter before I spay her because she's still to young for a spay!
Right now she has 2 litters inside the cage is a CORNER litter with a tray in it to keep her from making a mess or eating carefresh. Outside in her play area I had given her a shoe box to play with and as soon as she pee'd and pooped in it I took it as an opportunity to toss care fresh in it and call it a litter!
Questions
Based on everything I've mentioned above do you have any tips? Have I done something wrong?
Are corner or box litters better for 1st time learners? I really prefer to train her in a corner box because she has more room in her cage this way...
Any idea on where I can find a box litter with a tray in it to prevent her from getting at the carefresh? I live in Vancouver, BC (Canada) and have yet to find one at tisol or pet smart. Better yet does anyone know a good place to get bunny supplies in this city or any of our neighboring cities let me know I don't trust placing orders online =/
thanks in advance!
