Squiddy96
New Born Pup
Good morning.
I am contacting you to ask for advice, I found this forum on the internet and it seems really nice and well managed. I am from Italy but I will live for Australia because of my PhD; for this reason I had to leave my guinea pig and my bunny to my dad because they are not allowed to enter in Australia. My dad and his family are having some troubles with the litter and the bottom of the cage: Squiddy (guinea pig's name) always smells really bad and really fast, they say they tried different types of litters but nothing seems to work... I tried to train her to use the litter but she has never learnt, so she pees and poos all around. When Squiddy lived with me, I used a specific mat I bought online with different layers, but my dad & co stopped usingnit because it is very difficult to clean (you have to vacuum the hairsnfirst and it is a very difficult procedure). Do you have any suggestion? I don't know what to do and I am afraid they will give her away if I don't find a solution...
Thank you in advance for your availability
PS She doesn't live in a cage of course, but in a big fence. We tried free roaming but she wasn't confortable with all that open space
