To Christine Code;
What I do to deal with the poop beside the litterbox is get something
called Depends Bed Pad, or the smaller "chair pad". These are material like
disposable diapers that have a waterproof backing, but in a flat rectangle
shape. I hit upon them when in a motorhome their cage is in a back closet
with little manuvering room. I used the bed pad that covered the whole
bottom of the cage. It is thick enough that I don't have to use towels for
bedding on that level, and once a day I just roll it up with any messes &
put a new one in.
I think Wal Mart is the lowest cost, something like $6.50 for 18 of the
bed pads that are 23"x36". The chair pads are 1/2 the size, & you get twice
as many for the same cost. That's some $.36/day for the big ones, worth the
labor and paper towels saved for me.
I think sometimes rather than spending a lot of effort to change their
behavior, it's simpler to just find a way to deal with it more easily.
Best wishes, Gary
