Perhaps he's trying to tell you that his dig box should be where his litter tray is. Buns do like things just so, although one of mine is inclined to take the paper out of the bottom of her litter tray and put it on top of the straw/hay. If you don't put paper in the bottom then she just throws the other stuff out. :lol:

Naughty bunster :lol:

I try to clean mine out daily but on the odd occasion when I haven't, the next day it has always been dug out :roll: I guess mine don't like a dirty litter tray! They never ever do it when it is cleaned daily! Fusspots

:lol:but iv changed it round for the better, he always sat in the same scorner tray and looked out, so i put the big washing up bowl litter that has lots more room to chill in their instead as that was in the enclosed bed bit and they rarely go in there, so they would have more room ! if only they understood my logic!!:lol::lol::roll:

I would get them a few underbed storage boxes full of hay/litter, and leave them to it - my girls have dug their litter trays up this week looking for fresh hay (it has to be just this thing they dig around looking for - a seed head? I have no idea - I've cut their pellets back and they're eating a ton more hay :roll I've had to sweep the shed and clean out 3 times :?
