Hello,
Wayland my harlequin Holland lop will no longer use his liter box. He pees on the coroplast cage bottom/the area rugs that i use as his cage bedding. He always use to use it, and i recently changed his liter box and put the newspaper in and hay and such. The next morning he didn't touch his liter box. No hay eaten (many people know he doesn't eat hay as much) and no poop or pee. I cleaned his cage and found he had been using the rug that the liter box was next to. So even after i cleaned it he still wouldn't touch it. So i have added a second liter box as he just peed at the back of his cage rather than in his liter box, so i put it around the new area that he just peed in since i moved the rug out. So my question is, is this due to this.... It took me a bit longer to clean his liter box, ergo I didn't clean it as often due to many people coming into the house i am renting as they are selling it. I am thinking that he just didn't want to pee in his dirty liter box, and now that i have cleaned it he has made a new liter box as in the area around his liter box. So my solution i have added another liter box, and i soaked his pee and picked his poop up and put it in both liter boxes so his smell is in them. Will this work??? Any other suggestions??? I am kinda upset about this and i hope he will continue to use his liter box as i do not want to have him peeing everywhere. But in the beginning when i potty trained him he only liked his original liter box and would only use that, so i hope he will go back to it or use the new one. But any help and wisdom or similar issues that any of you have experienced and found solutions to would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
