Litter Training: Litter Training

[IluvePiggies]

I have a two year old Guinea Pig who goes everywhere. And then I have a two and half year old who I bought Saturday at Petco and she was already litter trained. Whats the best way to teach my two year old to potty train?

Litter training can only be done if the pig wants to be potty trained, and most of the time even when they are, they aren't 100% litter trained. To do so, your pig has to use certain corner(s) and when you find out what corner(s) those are you put litter box(es) in those corner(s). To help, you can have a "Kitchen," where you have shavings and that is where all the hay, food and water is, or you can have trays under the hay rack(s), and water bottle(s) and in one of those trays is where they are fed their daily pellets, and veggies, or just trays under the water bottle(s) and hay rack(s) as well as a kitchen or just a kitchen.

Generally, guinea pigs don't take to litter training very well. It takes alot of time, patience and persistence. I have not had experience with this, but it sounds very difficult to do. Personally, I would just not bother with it, and just let the piggies go to the bathroom where ever they want.
Maybe someone else who has experience with this can tell you the best ways to litter train.

Its pretty neat, i mean who wouldnt want to poop and pee somewhere else besides where you sleep! Before i knew it she was over there like hey look at me i am smart! haha
