Title practically says it all. My bearded dragon, Sunny, seems to favour pooping on her rope hammock, which is an absolute pain to clean. Not to mention the poop will also fall onto whatever is underneath it due to the holes, which is usually her cave. Sometimes she’ll poop on the floor of the tank somewhere, but it’s not as common. I’ve debated getting her a different hammock that’s easier to wash, but she gets really upset whenever I remove hers, including when I take it out to clean. She’ll glass surf on the side of her tank next to me to get my attention and will pace her cage around where her hammock usually is. For now, I have two hammocks, but it’s still a real problem to clean. I’ve read online that it’s possible to train them to poop somewhere, but it all involves a spot on the floor where you can put a litter box or tray, which isn’t really possible in this case.
Her current substrate is paper towels, which I’m hoping to switch to tile soon (but I’d like to see if there’s any solution to this problem first), and she’s about a year old. She’s also spoiled with a 120 gallon tank.
Any advice or help would be appreciated!
