They usually choose a corner to wee in. If you see when he wakes up. Watch him and he should go for a wee just after waking. Sometimes they go all over the cage at first, then choose a corner.

Once the corner is established put a litter tray in that corner with chinchilla sand in it and a bit of substrate with wee on on top. The smell encourages them to keep using the litter tray/corner. So don't wash it unless it smells bad.

If he does a wee in the wheel you could tip it into a corner or litter tray to encourage him to wee there.
