Change in Bathroom behavior

[lilcutie0480]

My little guy is 13 & has never really been one to pee on his ledges. Occasionally, it would happen but never with any consistency. Recently, within in the last 2-3weeks he has repeatedly been peering on one ledge. No change in poop, water or eating consumption, regular amounts of urine, and good energy. Why the sudden change? His environment hasn't changed, nor his cage, people around him or his diet. Any suggestions?

No suggestions. Chins sometimes change habits for unknown reasons. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a health problem.

my girl used to always use her litter pan, then one day just stopped. Now she pees everywhere except the litter pan ><

I thought I was lucky becasue she always went down in the bedding then one day she decided that was too far and started going on the shelf. I threw in the towl litterally and I just put a towl down where she goes now to keep it clean.

I have no idea, but is it possible for chins to get arthritic? Maybe it's just that they're old and cant be bothered to go down to potty just to come back up anymore.
