  Ok this is getting beyond a joke. My guys are pretty good about the litter box 98% of pee goes in there and only every few days will Bugz push his butt against the pen fence and spray (he is altered but he still does this) normally it happens when mum and dad come down and bring their dog or strange people are in the house to i let it go don’t get mad and clean up ASAP.
  
  However either of them seem to be able to get the poop in the litter box, i restricted their area and it’s not gotten worse, i tried cleaning their litter trays twice a day, that did not help. i tired not cleaning and only doing it ever day or every second day, that did not help. i tired different litters, I put in extra litter trays, i try not to reach into their cage but I am still vacuming up LARGE amounts of poop every night.
  
  The only thing I can think of is that Anya is yet to be spayed. Do you think this will slow down the pooping outside of the litter box after her surgery (which will happen next month)?

  I think since you eliminated all the other options (my vote was for changing the litter) that may do the trick – spaying I mean.
  It may still be some territorial marking, and an outside chance that it’s a health issue. But it’s bahavioral as long as they look normal, both are eating well and no one is having any other problems.
  
  Keep cleaning them, scoop them up and put them all into the litter boxes repeatedly as soon as you find them. It may be that they need to relearn that it’s only ok to poop in the box.

  Most likely the spay will help but keep in mind not right away and you still need to be consistent in your training.

  Petzy – the flooring is part carpet and part lino flooring depending on which area they are in.
  
  I have started getting up half and hour earlier to clean before I go to work and first thing I do when I get home and then again at night before bed. Will just stick it out and see what happens after the spay. She was going to get spayed this month but the vet wants to see if we can put a bit more weight on her and do it next month.
