Hi Folks, HELP!!!! I have had Salem for 7 months. He has been about 90% accurate with the litterbox in the cage until now. Enter in 2 new fuzzies, Faye and Bandit. They seem to use the litterboxes all the time. However, I'm starting to get poop piles in the opposite corners from the litterboxes in the cage. I thought maybe the new kids wanted them in a different spot so I clean the mistake up with vinegar and put the litterbox over it. Then they start going to the corner where it was originally. I clean that up with vinegar and move the litterbox back. They start using the wrong corner again. So I said fine, I cleaned the whole cage real well, washed the bedding as they had gone on it and cleaned everything. I then put the litterboxes back and surrounded them with the fresh bedding. They started going in the wrong corner on the bedding!!! Now I'm not happy so I think they don't like to mess in their food. So I clean everything, wash and replace the bedding and then in the corners without litterboxes I put food dishes with fresh food. I get up the next morning and what do I find?!? They haven't used the litterboxes at all and have pooped in the food dishes in the "no poop" corners! Filled them up as a matter of fact. I'm at a loss. I understand territory and all that but its a 4 story cage with every kind of bedding and sleeping hammocks you can imagine. They don't do this on the sleeping levels, just the 2 levels that have litterboxes. Any ideas? I'm to the point of getting some tiny little corks and........we you get the picture LOL. Any help would be appreciated.
