Both of our girls seem to do their wee wee's in the same corner of their cage-I dont put the fleece on that area, just newspaper so I can keep putting fresh on there as it gets so wet-they never seem to do it on their fleece.

Ive seen corner litter trays for piggies and bunnys so I was wondering whether they would actually use one? What do you put inside the litter tray?
 
Mine would never use them but some people are lucky. You can put newspaper and hay in the litter tray. :)
 
I occasionally put litter trays in the cage but they just tend to sleep in them (as well as wee - lovely boys). I put in megazorb but newspaper would be fine.
 
My boys have a litter tray in the living room for floortime so they don't have to ask back into their cage. Angus in particular gets really anxious if he can't pee in the cage or litter tray.

They do use it most of the time and they do lie in it too.... disgusting boys!
 
I have one here filled with hay that Misty uses and sleeps in - it is not just boars that are disgusting! ;)
 
Ive seen corner ones on ebay, they are only around £5 so I think I will give it a go.:)
 
I love my litter box, it is far from a miracle worker and they still poo and wee everywhere but it is quite a bit less when they have the litter box in their cage. I got a cat litter box from tesco and just have a layer of newspaper and a lot of hay as they wee where they eat -_- generally mine aren't too bad though with sitting in it, they do only really go in it when they want hay.
 
I have a cat litter tray under the hay rack. It seems that it catches a lot of the wee in there. I line it with newspaper and the pigs end up filling it with random bits of hay too
 
Cat litter trays lined with newspaper are great.
Atm, I'm using paint roller trays (unused of course ;)) as they are not as wide and fit better into the corners of the pen and the 'paint' end is a little deeper :)
The second I put the clean trays back in, they jump in for a wee or poop almost as if they're marking their territory :))

Cheap enough to throw out after a couple of months and replace.
