Potty training a guinea pig2007-11-24 22:14:37

how would you do it and about how long does it take for them to learn? thanks

Answers:

they pick where they want to go and thats where you put the "box" litter, etc.

I don't think it's possible to potty train a rodent.

They are poop machines - it's what they do.

Depends on whether it is male or female.

It varries from guinea to guinea. You can start with buying a triangular shaped plastic peace from the petstore for about $5.00

After that, whenever he/she starts peeing, put him/her in the plastic area.

If she doesnt catch on, take a scooper, and then put his/her poop in the plastic, and it will think, that must be the place to go in!

I have had a guinea pig for 3 years now, and never had any luck. But mine is really stubborn, so it shouldnt take more than a month for an average one.

Hope this helped, and good luck!

You don't.

You either change their box and cedar chips once every week to two weeks, or you have a metal cage with a sliding tray for newspaper. You'll be changing it a lot no matter what.

I tried potty training my guinea pig so i got her an outhouse and instead of going in it she sleeped in it!!!!

No i don't think you can potty train a guinea pig.

Maybe you can go to the petstore and ask someone how to potty train yours maybe that will help.
