guinea pig in bedding again

Question
i change the bedding every single day..so once a day..the reason is because she sits in her wet spots all the time..because she goes in her igloo..and just sits in her pee/poop..i just want to know what i can do to make her stop going in her igloo..any suggestions?

Answer
Matt --

Ahh.  The real reason emerges.  :)  The easiest way to make her stop going in her igloo is to take it away.  However, if that's not something you want to do, you can always try training her.  I've never tried it, but I have been asked about it before, and from my research and my connections, this is what I know: it's just like toilet training a child.  You want to make her aware of how uncomfortable going to the bathroom in her igloo can make her.  You could try using a different bedding in there (like newspaper or such), or perhaps providing a small treat every time you notice she's going outside the igloo.  Just make sure you reward good behaviors -- and remember, she's an animal, so you have to be patient.  From what I understand, it can take several months to "potty-train" a guinea pig.

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.  Good luck!
