Litterbox for floor time

GuineasGalore · Oct 1, 2004

can you train your piggies to use the litter box during floor time?

Put the box in a private spot with lots of hay in it.

It's hard to "train" them, but if you make it so they enjoy going in it, they will usually sit and eat/drink and go to the bathroom at the same time.

yeah you cant really train them like a dog or cat, but they can get used to a litter box. my piggies use one in their cage (helps with the cleaning so much) but you will always find some poops lying around the cage. i got them to use it by just placing the box in the spot they usually go to the bathroom in. they usually only use one corner of the cage.

if you potty train your piggies its really useful during floortime so they don't pee and poo everywhere..

Mine are trained about the house - here's a page on how I did it (broken link removed).

Plus have a look at this page https://guineapigcages.com/floortime.htm for more information and tips.

How do you keep your pigs from mving the box around w/their noses and/or chewing on it and flipping it over? What do you use as a litter box in their cage?

I'm trying to use one of thoes plastic litterboxes that you put in the corner of the cage (We got it from a animal and garden supply store)

i use the plastic corner kind. they actually started moving it around, or rather the new guinea pig taught that rest of the piggies how to move it, but they have never flipped it over.

you can just use thick stack of newspaper and put some poo and litter there and sometimes piggies will use it
