My rat Sakura is litter trained (does #1& 2 in the litterbox),Tenshi was partially litter trained.(She occasionally did #1 NEXT to the litterbox instead of in.) Today I caught Tenshi going number 1 on a shelf! & some got on my carpet! & Just as a side note,I hate wire floors so my rats have carpet in their cage.So I had to clean their carpet as well.So I left again to volunteer...came back & there was pee AGAiN!
WHY is she doing this today? It's not like her.I know rats urine mark,but she's just peeing wayy from where she is supposed to.
Is there a product I can use to deter her from peeing where shes not supposed to?
They are female rats,& I never had a problem with either of them peeing on a shelf or far from their litterbox,& they are full grown& were since before they were mine.
Should I look into spaying...?
**As a side note,yes,I'm still on hiatus.Only for a couple months though.
When I return I'll probably be selling a few things.One of which will be my martin's rat tower (I want to sell it & buy a bigger one so I can get another rat & have more room for toys,since my rats are spoiled also :lol It's a new cage,not a year old yet! Only a few months& it's really clean& such.Like I said,my rats *usually* use the litterbox & the floor has carpet.& It's powder coated also.We'll see though.& It'll be going really cheap,like a few other things.(Maybe only $50,I paid much more for it than that as you can see on the martins site: Martin's Cages )
