Answer
Ragel,

You can litter pan train your Guinea Pig. Find the spot where he does his business the most. Place the litter pan in that spot and place some hay or a treat of fresh food in the conner of the pan not a lot but just enough to get your Guinea Pig into it and give him a reason to sit in the pan. It'll take some time for him to do most of his business in it. The only thing you'll have to worry about is a little here and there where he happens to sleep. Change the pan out and put fresh litter in it ever other day, that way he'll be more willing to do his business there as it will alway be clean.

Good luck to you and take care,
