Hey everyone,
I just built Smudge a condo a few weeks ago, but I am finding that she is kicking poops and bits of litter out through the holes in the cubes when she leaves her litter box, her old cage had a plastic bottom so there was no problem. I was thinking a higher walled litter box might help with the problem. Also her hay (she has a hay rack that sits outside her cage and she pulls the hay through) is being pushed through the bars as well as it falls out. Any ideas for barriers/covers that can help solve this problem?
I have also been noticing a few poops not in her litter box, I am not sure if these are ones that she is kicking out (she has always been a messy bun but very good with her litter box) but I think that some of them are accidents because she had an accident in her bed yesterday. Could this be her way of adjusting and trying to make the new cage her territory again? She has been in the cage for just under 2 weeks now.
