Hi everyone :wave:
We have recently set up a new home for our wee Chesney using NIC-grid style mesh panels - it's bascially a big run in the spare room with his original hutch as a 'base' for food, water etc.
He seems much happier - and he's stopped pulling our his fur which I know think was a sign of boredom - but the flip side is he seems to have managed to un-litter train himself somehow :shock:
He used to be very good about using his tray - even heading back to the spare room from the living room (where he free ranges every evening) to use his tray, which we were v impressed with!
However, now he just pees and poos at random - he seems to use his whole hutch as a big litter tray and has now taken to jumping on the sofa and peeing during his free ranging time.
I can deal with that but he is also peeing in his hay and pellets, meaning that he isn't eating as much as I think he should...??
Sorry for length of post - in a nutshell the problem is how do I stop him defacating in his own meals?! I've done the usual - moving his poos to litter tray etc - but its not working anymore. He'e not neutered yet - will be v soon - maybe this will help? Bit odd that he was so well trained and now has reverted back though...
Thanks xxx
