Emma's hay manger hangs on the inside wall of her high-backed litter box,so she caneat clean hay and potty in one spot. She pees/poops in the rear corner of her box that's situated beneaththe manger. (An odd choice, but she's always done this.)
This setup worked for her:She'd pig out on the hay each night, eating down the pile untilit was flush with the manger's top (or even below it).
Since feeding her a hay brand that she didn't like much, she's nearly stopped eating hay from her manger--even though she's now back on her previous hay brand, which she likes. She'll eat some hay in her cage at night, but it's still piled high in her manger each morning. Yet she'll eat quite a bit of hayplacedoutside of her cage (either on the floor or inside of her "outdoor" litter box).
I'm considering moving her "indoor" litter box to the opposite side of her cage, so that her butt faces her "favorite" corner as she faces her manger. But I'm not certain that she'll likehaving her box moved from the left-handto theright-hand corner of her cage.
Any thoughts on this (seemingly bizarre) situation?
Thank you,
