Peeing on top shelf

[Robert_the]

Mittens likes to pee on the top shelf of her cage. I have done all that i can think of , Like.. Moven her food bowl, cleaning the shelf with white vinegar, putting her hay up there, So..
I would like to know if there is any thing I could do to stop this.. or is she just going to be peeing up there her whole life.. she does have a big rotten streak in her lol :hmm:

My one boy does this as well. I too have cleaned and placed things on top of that area and then covered it in fleece BUT he still peed there . I ended up having to take that shelf out and placed ledges up there. He doesn't pee on the small ledges.

I've had some of my girls do this on occasion, normally when I move the shelves around it fixes the issue. I take the shelves out, wipe them down with water/vinegar and sand them down a bit. Then I put them in new spots. It's always helped, but I'm sure it won't always help.

Probably putting the hay up there doesn't help as most chins actually like to pee on their hay

I think thats how it started LOL

Good luck with that one! We have one boy who will sit at the top and pee in the corner and it runs down the cage and makes a mess- We have not been able to break him of this habit!! If you find something that works well let me know

Yes, my chin does this too. How often does she pee on the top shelf? Lola seems to pee about one day before I clean her cage, I clean it every tuesday and around Monday morning she decides to pee, So its no big deal here. But if shes peeing after cage cleaning that can be quite a pain. :wacko: I feel ya.

My chin puff does that, and it sucks because on the bottom of the FN my boy Miles is down there and is sleeping right where the pee is.
I would just get some bedding and put it in a pot / ceramic dish and he should go in that and then just clean it out.
That is what I'm doing and it seems to work fine

Chin Pee Stories

Every few days, I would find pee stains on my carpet, around chin cages. How can they pee outside their cages, especially girls??
Also, I didn't know they their pee was so thick in color; Sort of orange-ish.
My injured (recovering) baby boy pees when I take him out his cage. His butt gets lower and flatter when he pees. He was taking the position yesterday on my new king-size bed, and yes, he peed on my bed. But, it's ok, I spoil him to death because he is recovering. Poor baby...
