Hi! My two gerbils are 9 weeks old and are doing well, but for some reason, they will still pee and poop all over the second level of their cage. They do have a toilet, which they ALSO use.… not to mention the wheel which is always a good spot for a pee 🙄
Any suggestions on how to direct them to use just the toilet? could This be a phase they will grow out of?
in the meantime, what is the best cleaning material? The second level surface is a slate slab. Any type of wet wipes that are safe to use? I thought about putting a pee pad on half the surface of the slab, but worry about the material not being safe for them?
thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!

They had been treated, so I think it was just an egg that had been left behind…. I put Xeno 50 on them and kept them in another cage with just kitchen roll for a couple of days. Then baked all the wooden toys, disposed of any that couple be replaced and desinfected the bin before adding brand new bedding. It should be good now, but will reapply the medication in a couple of weeks :)
