Coco lives in a Hamster Heaven cage.
She hasnt used either of the small houses, however she used to use one in her Peggy Metro cage. She lives upstairs in the Penthouse (classy huh?).
The problem is she sleeps, stores her food and wees up there (she poos in her bedding too
).
She has the loo that came with the cage but she seems to use it as her chill-out zone and has a nap in there occasionally! Or she just plays in the litter.
I have tried mopping up her wee with a tissue, and then putting a bit of it in her loo, to try and get her to think of the loo as the loo - but it didnt work... I even tried picking up some of her droppings and putting them in the loo - that didn't work either!
Today I have bought a little dish and put chincilla sand in it to see if that gets her out of her loo and into the "sand pit" - fingers crossed this will work.
So how else can I get her to be a lady and go to the toilet in her loo?
I have seen some people remove the penthouse, but she likes it so much, it would be a shame.
Am I going to just have to clean her wee area every day - or is there a cure?
