Pee in food bowl

[Mummypig]

:vomit: Poppy pees in her food bowl and she pees all over the wooden shelf under the bowl which in 3 weeks has destroyed it. I wondered if anyone had any tips on getting her to pee somewhere else? it cant be very sanitary to wee in your dinner. (just so you know, I change her food regularly so she's got lots of fresh pellets available)

One of my guys did this as well. I changed the location of his food dish- put an attached bowl up on the top shelf and that seemed to help. Pretty gross and a waste of perfectly good food...yuck.

I have used Nikki's method to stop peeing in the dish and I have also bought a bird crock with a lid. Moving the dish to a ledge helped for awhile but they decided to go out of their way to get up and pee in it after awhile. The covered crock did the trick.

I've also had that problem when the bowl was too big. I have kinds that hang from the cage bars so I moved it to below a shelf that was low enough so she couldn't get up on the bowl anymore.
