Moving pan

[stephiemarie78]

I've noticed that cooterkeeps movinghis litter pan in the middle of his cage. I put it back but it's like aconstant war. Should I just give up and let him put it where he wantsit? He's not fixed yet I'm still saving the money for it. He good atnot peeing in his cage but ahh he poos everwhere.

If he's peeing in the box most of the time, consider yourself lucky.

Mine move their boxes around, too. I usually let them, butShadow moves his, then pees in its spot! I think I'm gettinghim one of those that attaches to the side of the cage, like the firstone on this page:

I wonder if a bungee cord would hold it in place?

With my luck, he'd pop the litter box out and turn it over.

I have flat weights in the bottom of theboxes. Unfortunately, Loki has since developed the muscles tomove them. Oh well, at least he's getting exercise!

I suppose you could rig something with zip ties(by poking holes in the sides of the box), but you'd have to find aneasy way to disconnect them for cleaning. Maybe one zip tieattached to the cage and one attached to the box and a caribiner clipto connect?

I'm thinking way too much here.

Why don't you try to use the huge clips that youwould use in an office to keep paper together. See picture.They work really well.

I used zip ties in the beginning and it was a pain in the royal tushie.
I tried using the binder clips and the buns would manage to move the pans around just enough to unclip them.

I ended up using those baby link rings....
I just clip them on the wire and then on the pan....no holes, no muss, no fuss.
The buns chew on them and will eventually chew through them, but ittake quite a while. I just replaced the oned on S'more pan after about3 months of use.

I got them at the dollar store....they're the same ones we gave out as door prizes at the Party.

......here's one that shows them on Brindle & Benji's pan. Youcan't see, but Benji's pan still has the holes from using the zip ties.
You can also see that I used the links for the baby keys and to make a hanging toy.
I used them in S'more cage to rig up her salt lick, too.

lol i'm glad i'm not the only one with thisproblem. He moves the pan then lays where it was. I tryed clips but heknows how to get them off. He takes the ones off that holds the doorclosed on his nic cage. I've found him twice now out of his cage in themorning when i wake up.

Rosie used to do that until I started using carabiners. She'd meet me in the hallway outside the bunnieroom in the morning.

I binder clipped our buns' litterboxes,hayracks, and even (most recently) their foodbowls!! My bunsare both horrible at just shoving everything around! I thinkFlower does it more out of imitation, but Maisie sure is a pro in herown right! Hehe!!

So, that's what I recommend...getting some medium sized binder clips and clipping them to the cage.

Rosie* and her two scoundrel buns, Maisie and Flower

Yes! Those are exactly what I mean by binder clips.
