I have a glass pan for her to pee in, but how do i prompt her to pee in it? I cant put anything that she has alrdy peed on in there because i cant find where she is peeing.
Yeah she just came home, i will try that, anyone else have any other ideas? Darn i dont have any apple juice though how long did you need to do this?You may just want to put the pan in. If there is only pine (or what ever) bedding in the pan and not in the rest of the cage she maybe more tempted to use the pan.
If you can't find were she is peeping, are you sure she is drinking enough? Sometimes when a chin is stressed from say a move they don't drink as much as they should. I don't know if this works with all chinchillas but I added 1 part unsweetened apple juice to 3 parts water when Nyx first came home and wasn't drinking much. It not only got her to drink more but made her urine really smelly. Might help you find where she is peeping.
Good luck!
My chin always pees in one corner so that is where I put my litter pan. Then I put in some soiled bedding with the litter so she would get the idea. I agree with the idea of putting down paper towels under the bedding to give you an idea where your chin soils. Or you could try lining cage floor with fleece and look/smell for urine.
