Low-Entry Rectangle Design:Spacious 16.5″ x 13″ opening accommodates rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small animals without requiring jumping or climbing to access the pan.

Removable Scatter Shield:Detachable back panel prevents litter scatter during natural backward-scooting behavior without restricting pet movement or creating a confined feeling during use.

Corner or Flat Placement Compatibility: Can be placed in habitat corners where pets naturally prefer to use the bathroom, or against cage walls for optimal space utilization.

Usage Instructions

Corner Placement: Position the litter pan in the corner of your pet’s habitat where they naturally prefer to eliminate, typically where you observe droppings or wet spots.

Fill with Bedding:Add 1-2 inches of Oxbow Eco-Straw pelleted litter or Pure Comfort bedding to the pan, then place hay inside or just above the pan to encourage bathroom use during eating.

Positioning for Success:For rabbits and guinea pigs, place hay in a hay rack positioned directly above the litter pan to encourage pets to use the bathroom while eating, accelerating litter training.

Multiple Pan Setup:For larger habitats or multiple animals, place additional pans in other preferred bathroom corners to accommodate different pets’ territorial preferences and reduce competition.

Secure Placement:If your pet tries to push the pan away from the corner, secure it using zip ties attached to the cage to maintain consistent positioning for reliable litter training.

Daily Maintenance:Remove solid waste and wet spots daily using a scoop, leaving some soiled litter to help your pet identify the bathroom location through scent marking.

Additional Information

Care Instructions

Daily Spot Cleaning:Remove droppings and urine-soaked litter with a small scoop to maintain hygiene and prevent ammonia buildup and odor.

Weekly Full Replacement:Empty the entire pan and replace with fresh bedding at least once weekly, or more frequently for multiple animals or in humid environments.

Thorough Washing:Rinse the pan weekly with warm water and pet-safe soap, scrubbing thoroughly to remove bacteria, stains, and odors, then refill with fresh bedding.

Shield Inspection:Check the removable shield regularly for cracks, warping, or damage that could reduce scatter containment effectiveness and replace it if necessary.

Dry Completely:Ensure the pan is completely dry before refilling to prevent bacterial growth and moisture-related odor problems that could discourage litter box use.

Safety Instructions

Supervise New Users:Monitor your pet during initial litter pan use to ensure they are comfortable entering, exiting, and using the pan without injury or stress.

Check for Sharp Edges:Inspect the pan regularly for cracks, rough edges, or sharp spots that could injure your pet’s sensitive feet or legs during normal use.

Prevent Chewing Damage:While the plastic is durable, monitor excessive chewing and replace the pan immediately if your pet damages it sufficiently to create hazardous, sharp edges.

Shield Attachment:Ensure the removable shield is properly positioned and secure so it doesn’t fall or shift unexpectedly during your pet’s bathroom use.

Appropriate Bedding:Use only small-animal-safe litter, such as Eco-Straw or paper pellets; never cat litter with clay or clumping agents, as these can harm your small animal’s respiratory system.
