Despite common belief, litter trays aren’t just for cats. If you have a small pet who spends a lot of time in their cage or hutch, you may wish to try and litter train them.
You may wish to do this to reduce the amount you have to clean out their cage, such as changing hay. It could also be a great addition if you have multiple pets in the cage and it gets messy very quickly.
Guinea pigs, rabbits and gerbils are just some of the animals who have been trained to use a litter tray, and while it doesn’t always become the norm, there can be no harm in trying.
Below are the best small animal litter trays, with picks for a range of small animals.
