Trained Guinea Pig Starts Pooping Everywhere

[Madeline94]

since i got my pig about a year ago, shes been pooping on only one spot. I was away from home for bout 3 days then she had a very messy cage with poo and pee flooded as my parents didnt take proper care of her. Now she doesnt poop neatly in one spot but just poop everywhere in the cage! Is she not feeling well?

I'd take her to the vet ASAP

I would recommend to have her vet checked to be on the safe side, but it can well be that she just doesn't see the point of being tidy anymore. Are the poos different any different in size, form or substance? Is her weight stable?

How long has she been back with you ?
Is she a lone Guinea Pig ?

A vet visit wouldn't hurt. It could just be (as rightly said above) if left for a few days she couldn't go in one place anymore so turned to other places instead. Or it could be something is wrong. Are the poos all regular shape and size? If it is just that she doesn't see a point and the vet doesn't come up with anything wrong health wise you could always restart with the training and try to coax her to do it in one corner. How you did it in the first place I don't know?! My Mo just seems to erupt and deposit poos everywhere lol

Piggies aren't normally fussed where they do their business, likelihood is she's just gotten lazy.
