Harrisons Small Animal Corner Litter Tray - 49cm

This tray is designed for small animals like gerbils, hamsters, and mice. The 49cm model is larger than the 34cm sibling and may offer more space for slightly larger individuals or active pets within these species.

You can use paper-based bedding, aspen shavings, or specialized small animal litters. Avoid cedar and pine shavings, as their oils can be harmful to small pets.

It's recommended to spot clean waste daily and perform a full wash of the tray at least once a week, or more frequently if odors become noticeable or it becomes heavily soiled.

The tray is designed to fit into corners. It works best in cages with distinct corners and may not be suitable for round cages or those with unusual internal layouts.

The plastic is generally considered safe for pets. However, if your pet ingests significant amounts, it can cause intestinal blockages. It's best to discourage chewing and ensure the tray is securely placed.

For stubborn issues, use a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio), let it sit for a short period, then scrub gently. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Ensure the tray is placed in a corner your pet naturally gravitates towards. Start by placing a small amount of their existing waste or preferred litter in the tray to attract them. Avoid placing food or water bowls directly next to the tray.

This is common with some small animals. Try placing heavier bedding around the base of the tray inside the cage to secure it. If chewing persists, consider if this tray is suitable for your specific pet's habits.

Ensure you are using an appropriate absorbent litter and cleaning the tray daily. Consider using a litter designed for odor control and ensure the tray is large enough for your pet's needs.

While the tray has high corners, excessive digging or activity can still cause spillage. Ensure the litter depth is appropriate and not too high. Confirm the tray is seated correctly in the cage corner.
