Did you know you can train your caged critters to use the litter box? Rats are especially great litter box users, but you have to train them first. Here are a few tips on how to get your pet rat to use the litter box.

Training is a lot easier if you choose to put the box in an area of the cage where your pet already likes to go potty. If he’s used to going to the bathroom in a certain area of the cage, he’ll likely continue going there, even if there’s a box in that spot. To make it even more obvious, place a little waste in the box.

If you want your pet to continue using the box, make sure you clean it out at least once a day. For more tips on getting your pet to use his litter box, call your vet Oshawa, ON. Visit their site for additional information.
