A bit of a dubious honor, eh? With my guinea pigs, I used to joke that it was a sign of love.

What I'd do with young Francy is make sure she's had a little time to wake up before you scoop her up and out of her home. Giver her a little time to wake up, use the restroom (aka litterbox or wheel), then snuggle.

When she's out with you, make sure you have her litter box and some baby wipes nearby. Pay careful attention to the signs she gives. Hedgies usually have a sign - their little tails pop out before pooping; many get a special little "stance" where they stand a bit differently right before peeing. Watch her carefully, get to know her signs. And when you see them happening, move her over to her litter box and let her finish in there. The baby wipes are for you... for the times you don't catch on quickly enough

I heard that to "potty train" a hedgie, put their poo in the litter box so that they can smell it there. Eventually it only seems right that they go to the bathroom there because the scent is familiar. smhufflepuff has great ideas as well
