Do they like to sit in their urine spots?

I am wondering if they like to sit in their wet spots. Now that I have Redemption in a cage large enough to scamper around in, instead of urine all over, it is only in one spot, in the southwest corner. There are little "raisins" all over around the edges, but only one spot with urine. The pigloo sits in front of it right now, but he went to that spot before I put the pigloo in. When not eating hay or checking out the things in the cage, he goes to that corner and sits. He literally spends most of the day there. When I change the paper, there is only one wet spot and it is there. Because he stays in that corner, that is where the wetness is. I am just wondering if he stays in that corner because that is where the urine is and he likes to sit in it.

I think it's the other way around, they pee there because they like to sit there and don't want to get up . Mine does the same exact thing. She pees in her pigloo.

It could be to do with where he used to live and the state you got him in, he may know no different and it doesn't bother him.

Another reason could be as said above the fact they're laying there so they pee there. One of my girlfriend's does the same, they're not the most hygienic of animals lol

It's not much to worry about unless he is sopping wet from it, then he'll need a bath obviously, but it isn't something unusual. You'll need to make sure he doesn't get burnt from his pee on his paws or even his belly so I'd clean out the wet patches daily if you can. I'm not sure how you're housing him but you could also teach him to use a litter tray, but then he may just sit in the litter tray lol :p
