I have two new rat baby boys (Born at 12/10/10) and I've been having some issues with them peeing and pooping on only the top level of their cage. I can't seem to locate a single corner they use as a bathroom and it is causing a huge mess in my place. The mess is horrible and because there is no bedding on the shelves (nor any way to keep the bedding on the shelves) they end up sitting and laying in their own waste.
I have a large, ferret sized cage with a deep tray bottom that I use carefresh ultra in. The different levels are solid shelves that are easily wiped down.
Should I just work on litter box training them for the level they primarily do this on or should I remove the shelves until they learn they need to do their business on the bottom of the cage, where the bedding is?
