Got our cage up today - Silas and Connor are two very happy piggies! The running and popcorning were great when they first got in.
Anyhow - trying to keep the upstairs for food and such. So far, they are great at going up the ramp and getting used to going down...slowly but surely. They like the run-through under the ramp too. They are used to going pee on newspaper though and at first I had the open 2-grid side lined with newspaper in case they have to pee and don't make it upstairs, but it took up too much space and they were dragging the paper all over. Tried a small box with a few layers, topped with bedding to make my job a little easier (pictured below). Cardboard will only last so long though. Any suggestions that won't take up too much space, but still give them a downstairs potty area? Photo gallery's not up, so I can't browse pics.
Thanks for any advice.
