Hello everyone, I have a few questions about potty training, and I’m leaning towards not doing it.
If I train Neptune to go in his cage, would he only poop in his cage? Would he not go in his travel cage either then since it isn’t his cage?
Is it possible to teach multiple places for him to go on, like his cage, paper towel, playstand, travel cage, etc.
I know it isn’t good for them to hold it, and I definitely do not want him to feel that he can only go in one place. Especially if/when I take him places, I’m worried he won’t think he can go since his cage isn’t there, even if a paper towel or his travel cage is.
Some say it’s about training on to go on command, not to go in a certain spot. If it were on command, wouldn’t the bird then hold it in their cage too? Waiting for the command? That doesn’t sound safe.
The only reason why I was wondering about this is because I have carpeting but I am going to buy mats to put under his cage and playstand.
