Heyo everyone!
So, I recently purchased two litter pans for my nine week old rats, set them up in their cage with their old bedding (their new cage has a floor instead of bedding) and have been putting their poop into the box in hopes of training them.
They... Haven't really gotten the hang of it, they started out by playing in it and snuffling around, but I just caught one of my boys sleeping in it while the other brought him bedding.
Theo, one of the boys, also likes to pull allllll the bedding out, push it to the side of their cage and push it onto the floor :l
This is particularly annoying because they're located on carpet and have the carefresh paper bedding.
I have no idea what to do. I'm going to clean out their cage and put much less bedding than I had before, but it doesn't seem like they even associate it with a bathroom. They've continued to poop everywhere, and I haven't caught either of them going in the box.
