I have been spreading pine shavings across the entire floor of the habitat for my little Mother and her 25 day old son. They both urinate in one corner of the habby, but the floor is plastic and the shavings seems (to me anyway) to be a more comfortable medium for the floor. Now it seems from what I read that I only need to put them in a litter box? I change their shavings regularly, and clean out the corner even more frequently. The cage is the same age as the kit, and we bought it brand new.
Am I doing any harm covering the whole floor with shavings?
Neither of my Chins eats the shavings, even the little boy focuses on Mom and hay. Mom does chew at her pine house, but not excessively. And neither chews on the metal cage, except the Mom, to get us to come play with them, if we are in the same room and make the mistake (Oh No!) of ignoring them,lol.
So, all of the floor covered, or just the corner, and do we need a litter box? I mean, they poo everywhere, lol. Will they poo in the litter box also? I don't mind either way, I just wondered.
