The returnee boy from my last litter Basil is in a temp cage (Ferplast Jenny) until the spring is here and then he will be going to live with my outside girls as he will be neutered before then.

Anyway he only pees in one corner of his cage but it's not in the base but he stand on the bars and pees out onto my carpet. I've put a hanging litter tray right where he done it as he has always pooped in one corner but instead of using this to pee in aswell he's just moved up the bars:sosp:

I'll be getting a new carpet soon and don't want it covered in pee so trying to think of ways to stop him. I'm going to cover the area where he pees from with cardboard but i can see him moving to another section. Anyway i'm looking for any other tips or suggestions on how to try and stop him

Could you try puting perspex under the cage and at the side? I don't know if that would work.

Could you try a shower curtain? It wouldn't look to fab, but you would be able to cover the entire area of carpet around the cage. Even if he did pee then you could wipe it up with a bit of toilet roll and wash the shower curtains every few days If you could buy some cheap ones from poundland and then you would have some to rotate with while the other ones are washing and drying I have no idea how you would even try to stop him peeing out the cage altogether though

Thank you for the ideas!

My dad suggested building a tray that attached to the outside of his cage so that when he pees that will catch it, so will try a few things and see how it goes. Roll on March when he can go outside

He's actually peed on me twice by doing it

Once i was walking past his cage and the other i was sitting doing invoices on my bedroom floor and he decided to pee on me and them!
