Urine Questions

Hey..

I was wondering if anyone else has problems with their degus urinating outside of their cage? Since we upgraded the cage from the single rat cage to the double rat cage they have been urinating from the upper levels onto the walls and carpets. They have also been urinating on their running saucer and running on it which causes it to spray everywhere.

Is there also a collalation between degu urine and hives? My husband seems to get hives a lot more since we got the new cage.

Thanks!

my degu cage has a wood wall for the back. only the sides and front are open cage. from what i can tell. they've always peed towards the wood wall. now, it's not pretty to the eyes, i wipe it. but fact is, my girls choose to pee against the wall, instead of anywhere else. maybe try putting a board up in their cage as a wall, see if it helps.
