What to Do About Little House Pee-ers?

What to Do About Little House Pee-ers?

Do you also have a little rodent that loves using their multi-room house as a bathroom? Well, not the whole house, but one specific room in it. That’s actually quite logical: a multi-room house has different spaces, and small rodents often use them for various purposes. Think of a storage room, a nest or sleeping area, and yes... sometimes even a bathroom!

Why Do They Pee in the House?

In the wild, rodents keep their burrows clean and organized. Each room serves a distinct purpose: one for storing food, one for sleeping, and another as a toilet. In a multi-room house, they mimic this behavior. It’s perfectly natural for your little rodent to choose one room to use as a toilet. This instinct helps them keep their nest and food supplies clean.

The Solution: The Rodipet Ceramic Corner Toilet

For pet owners who want to improve the hygiene of their multi-room house, Rodipet offers an excellent solution: the ceramic corner toilet. This toilet fits perfectly in one of the rooms of the multi-room house and supports your rodent’s natural instincts.

Why Is This Corner Toilet So Handy?

  • Low entry at the front: Easily accessible, even for young or small rodents.
  • High back: Prevents urine from splashing over the edge, keeping the habitat cleaner.
  • Triangular shape: Fits perfectly in the corners of the multi-room house.
  • Durable ceramic material: Easy to clean and resistant to gnawing.
  • Neutral color: Blends into any type of enclosure, whether wooden, plastic, or glass.

How to Use the Corner Toilet?

  1. Observe your rodent: First, check which room your little friend has chosen as their "bathroom." You can usually spot this by wet bedding or urine stains.
  2. Place the toilet: Put the ceramic corner toilet in that room, preferably in the corner most used by your rodent.
  3. Use chinchilla sand: Fill the toilet with chinchilla sand, which absorbs well and is readily accepted by rodents.
  4. Add used bedding: Place some used bedding from the toilet area on the sand inside the corner toilet so your rodent recognizes it as their bathroom.
  5. Clean regularly: Clean the toilet with a mild detergent to prevent odors and bacteria.

Extra Tips for a Clean Habitat:

  • Toilet training: Some rodents, such as hamsters and gerbils, are surprisingly easy to toilet train. With a little patience, you can teach them to always use the same spot.
  • Mind odors: A clean toilet not only reduces odors in the house but also discourages your rodent from peeing in other places.
  • Check the bedding: Choose dust-free bedding for the rest of the enclosure to avoid health issues.

A Rodent with Etiquette!

In the wild, rodents keep their burrows clean to protect food supplies and avoid attracting predators. By providing your rodent with a suitable toilet solution, you support this natural behavior and improve hygiene in the enclosure.

Do you have a multi-room house and a little house pee-er? Then this corner toilet is a practical and clever solution to keep both you and your rodent happy. Plus, cleaning the enclosure becomes much easier!

With just a small adjustment, you can create an even cozier home for your little companion!
