Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can help: I have had Paddington for 3 weeks and he is now 11 weeks old. He has been successfully using the "Piddle Place" as his indoor toilet. However, yesterday I noticed him starting to dig at the carpet inside his playpen and came home this evening to discover that he had flung his fake grass mat which covers the plastic Piddle Place base and which is part of the toilet system to the bed-end of his pen. A small amount of the corner of the fake grass had been chewed. Observing him this evening, on several occassions he has tried to chew the corner of the fake grass matt and then fling it off as well as dig to lift it.
Has anyone had this problem or any advice re same?
He also has his bed, water bowl and toys (which are rotated) in the playpen.
I have taken the grass matt off for this evening as I am concerned that if I leave it on he may develop a longer term bad habit. I have not yet seen if he is using the Piddle Place without the grass. The plastic base system is riveted so he may not find it comfortable or familiar to use. Any advice would be much appreciated. This issue is important to me as I presemtly live in an apartment and an indoor toilet is a must. Also note that I live in Australia so some some U.S. products may mot be available to me.
