Mouse Litter

It's crucial to line your mouse habitat with comfortable bedding or mouse litter. In addition to giving your mouse something to nest and burrow in, it absorbs waste to help keep the habitat clean and odor-free. It may also help to give your mouse a litter box as a designated space to do their business. Not all mice will consistently use a litter box, but it doesn't hurt to try. If you want to give mouse litter training a try, here are some of the supplies you may need:

• Small pet litter box: Open trays or corner boxes to contain litter
• Mouse litter: Soft, absorbent materials like paper, hemp, or straw
• Cage liners: Available in single-use disposable or washable and reusable forms
• Cage cleaner: Surface cleaning spray to promote hygiene and eliminate odor

Strategic litter box placement is the key to mouse litter training. Mice tend to pick a certain spot in the cage to do their business, so the best strategy is to simply put the litter box in that area. The litter box should be deep enough to contain at least an inch of mouse litter but have a low entry point so your mouse can easily climb in and out. Once you get your litter box set up, keep your supply of litter steady using Chewy's Autoship to schedule recurring deliveries.
