Sprinting down the street
So Sprite has been extremely nesty lately, to the point where I've had to make changes to lighting, etc. But he's also holding his poop and really isn't liking pooping in his cage, I guess to keep the "nest" clean. Example? He just now, at 5:00pm, did his FIRST poop of the day (hasn't been out of the cage all day today). It seriously is the nastiest thing you've ever seen, and it splatters everywhere because it's such a huge puddle of pudding (and apparently he drinks too much water, according to the vet, so that just exacerbates everything). Obviously I don't think this can be good for him long term.
If I take him out of the cage in the morning or anytime, he will go right away (it's still pudding, just not as much), but that's not a habit I want to form either. Is this my only choice, however? I'm going to start this unless there is something else to try. I don't have an option of a sleep cage and a day cage due to space. Any other ideas?
