I have a Syrian who is a ripe old 2y 5m old. He has always been very clean and has a two chamber wood house. This week he seems to have stopped using his sand toilet, and is just urinating in his nest. It was pretty gross when I checked it today, so i cleaned it out and gave him fresh bedding in there.

Is this normal for old age? Is there something I can do to make his sleep area more comfortable? I can't imagine sleeping in your own urine is any fun, but I can't keep it dry for him all day. His stored food is getting sodden too.
