I finally found a litter box system to suit my lazy college student needs. I'll post pictures below.
Millie was having issues with going to the bathroom every time she ate/drank her food/water. It seemed to only happen when it was the pellets and water so I followed another member's advice and put the bowls in an area that can only be reached if they are in the litter box.
The litter box is a jumbo one so they can both be in it at the same time.
I line it with a litter liner (they did have the urge to chew it the first week but I put it on a certain way so they don't chew it anymore).
Then I add a Tidy Cat Breeze pad from the litter box system that uses pads and pellets. I was using that box before, but it just got so hard to clean. I had to put it in my bathtub every week because hay/pee/poop got stuck in the crevices and mine wasn't easy to pull apart. So now I'm just using a cheap jumbo box.
Then I add the plastic canvas. I used to use this above a grate, but I noticed the buns didn't want to use the box if I had forgotten to dump the poop.
Finally, I add a cut-out piece of a florescent light diffuser. It was 12 bucks at Home Depot for a huge sheet.
So the poop and pee fall through the light diffuser. The poop gets caught by the plastic canvas and I dump it every few days. The pee goes through the pad which I replace once a week. I simply take the liner out, tie the top and start over. The litter box doesn't need to be cleaned or anything! And no dusty litter! Awesome. Just had to share
