has anyone figured out a solution to this problem. I have just been putting a small handful of food in two or three times a day, to avoid accidents on the whole lot...but i was wondering if there was a solution to this issue that someone figured out. I may go on a trip soon, and I doubt the hubs or teen will remember to replace thier small amounts....they do good to remember to fill thier water (I'm the animal keeper here...lol)
 
Maybe try bowls that attach to the cage sides so they can't get into the bowl and pee. They might still fling some poops in, but should fix problem with the pee.

that made me chuckle. Guinea pig holding poos in his little paw and lobbing them in the dish, saves getting bored!

I buy the excel so you cant tell which are poos and which are food! I changed Berties dish to a higher sided one so unless he stands on his front legs and perches his bum on the edge of his dish I dont think he could wee in there! (I hope he isnt reading this!:()
 
LOL :) I meant sometimes they kick poos into their bowls. I don't think they intentionally drop them in the bowls.
 
LOL I like the image though, New Olympic event piggy poop lobbing LMAO

Sorry I will attempt to help you out now I used to have this problem in the past I just got a higher sided dish, that solved the weeing still got the occasional poop I think they dropped off feet when they were placed over the side of the bowl, but I honestly don't think it will harm them as they sometimes eat poops anyway
 
You've got me cracking up here, olympic poop hurling...lol. Higher sided bowl..got it. Thought of one of those gravity feeders they have...but I dunno if theyd go for it. Smores likes to sleep in the bowl for some reason
 
OH MY..what a cute little piggy he is....i think its too cute him sleeping in his dish..so that part dosent bothe rme. Its just the peeing in it...lol
