I have a few questions on how to get one of our boys to pee in one spot of his cage. We rescued our chins from a home where they were mostly ignored. We had to throw away the cage they lived in, it was so filthy. After a few months, both chinchillas are healthier and are warming up to us. One began to use the litter box with just a little encouragement, but the other guy still pees everywhere in the cage. I end up cleaning the cage constantly....trying to keep up with his smelly puddles. I assure you, their cage is not dirty, but he just seems to pee anywhere and everywhere. I have even seen him back up from his food bowl and pee while he is eating. Is there any way to train him out of this habit? I have read that you should put a toy, the food bowl, etc in places that he has peed in order to get him to quit peeing there, but it doesn't seem to matter. Isn't this against a chinchilla's instinct? We have also checked to see if he had a hair ring problem, but that isn't the case. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
