My girl Emma has almost entirely stopped going potty in her cage litter box. I'm hoping that new cage setup will help; I'm looking for suggestions.
Her cage is one level (a temporary setup until she and Zoe hopefully share a cage again). She has two beds side-by-side on one end;her litter box, food and water are on the other end.
Her hay manger hangs on the inside wall of her litter box, so she can eat clean hay while going potty in her litter box.This setup works wonderfully for Zoe; but Emma wants to keep her cage box as clean as possible. (Ironically, Emma willingly eats and potties in the litter box that's outside of her cage.)
Despite regularly using one of her beds, she still likes to lie in her litter box. It's likely for this reason that she hardly goes potty in it. And that can't be good, her holding her "business" all night long.
Outside of hanging her hay manger apart from her litter box, I'm wondering if there might be anything else for me to try. I'm taking all suggestions.
