Samantha continues to change and amaze me. After a week of “training” her by picking her up, petting, covering her eyes (to minimize the squirming) and putting her in her house while saying “bunny bedtime” then handing her a treat, she seemed to get it and struggle less.
Until 2 nights ago, when I got off the couch and couldn’t find her. She was in her house! She’d put herself back! And did it again last night. I praised her, said “bunny bedtime, good bunny” repeatedly and handed her a treat while closing the door.
I think she’s never used the outside litter pan I have on the carpet, no matter where I place it, so she may be going in to use the litter pan because she has to go. On the other hand, I’d just cleaned it and she didn’t like the fresh stuff, so was rearranging it by tossing half of it out into the cage. Does anyone use white Carefresh? Is it me, or is it huge chunks now? I am going to try Yesterday’s News next, or at least switch back to the natural cheaper Care Fresh.
