I have 2 guinea pigs. I recently upgraded their 2x3 to a 3x3 with a 1x3 upper level, they poop everywhere. I am attempting to potty train my piggies but things are not working as planned (as if they ever do with piggies).
I was hoping that if I just used the upper level as the food level that they would handle most of their business up there. They have been handling most of their buisness up there even though they do manage to drop quiet a bit of poopies on the main level.
My schedule has changed and I'm out more than I used to be. When I leave in the morning they're on the upper level. When I come home, they're on the upper level and when I check on them in the middle of the night, they're on the upper level.
I'm concerned because I'm not sure if they're getting adequate exercise during the day. I sometimes see Patches running around downstairs but not Precious. I was hoping that making the upper level the food court would confine their poopies to the upper level and not confine them to it.
Did I make a mistake? Any suggestions as to what I should do?
