Not sure if this is where this goes, but here it is.
I recently got my ratties a CN. I had been using only bedding. I have recently switched to fleece, and litter boxes. I put their poops in the litter box a few times a day. And empty the litter box every few days, aside from a few poops I leave in there for them to know this is where to go. They have a pee rock that's about the size of a 4month old rat in it. The thing is, I haven't noticed pee everywhere, but there's ALWAYS poops scattered about the cage. I use critter care bedding. The same they used to have in their cage. They seem to like to scatter that around too. I'm thinking about switching to yesterday's news. Also, they keep pulling up the fleece, and putting it in their house.
I go in, and fix the fleece, and put their litter back in the pan, and pick up poop it seems like constantly. I know there has to be a better way to do this. Binder clips don't work, because I can't shut the door with them in place. But at least their cage doesn't reek from pee so much anymore. I just need them to poop in their box now! LOL
