I get asked a lot what worked best for a litter box for Rosie, so I decided to post this blog to help others with the same question. Remember, every mini pig is different and they all have their preferences and such. So my idea isn’t the end-all-be-all by any means, I’m just sharing what worked for us.
Rosie came to me from the breeder litter box trained. At 1st, I used a tiny cat box and as she grew I got the largest litter box I could find. Well, that was 4 boxes later and a lot of money shelled out. My advice is to buy the large bin pictured above (I got mine at Walmart) and cut a hole on the side like above. I wouldn’t do it centered or on the side because we they pee, it might go out the box. That’s at least with girls…they get distance. Lol
I used natural pine pellets in her litter box, which helped immensely with the smell. I’d just scoop out the used pellets. I tried using kitty litter to save on cost, and Forget That…holy moly did her box smell to high heaven. So I stuck with the natural pine pellets because the smell was horrid.
Now, Rosie only goes potty outside. She never pooped in her litter box ever. She would only pee in it, and then she just stopped going in the box all together and only goes potty outside. Please, feel free to comment below on other tips, feedback and/or questions.
