I've had Leo for 6 months now, he is litter trained, as in he knows where to pee. Jumps on the litter tray and pees just fine, hops back in his cage when he's out and about roaming to pee etc.
But as soon as I put hay to line his cage he then decides the whole place is a litter tray and will pee where he wants...as well as in the litter tray.
For 5 monhts now he's had no hay in the bottom of his cage, just in racks as he kept peeing everywhere in the hay as soon as we tried it after he was first litter trained.
Any ideas how I can stop him from doing it? He doesn't pee outside of his cage at all when running around the house. But for some reason he seems to associate hay on the floor with using the whole place as a litter tray.
