Hamster's are very clean animals and usually urinate and poo in a certain corner of their cage. You can actually buy "Hamster litterbox" from a pet store. I believe it contains a sand and a tiny box for it to use.

Hamsters generally do not need litter box. However u if want to keep ur cage cleaner, u can put a litter cage which usually being sold at ur local petstore. It usually comes with a type of sand which have smells such as blueberry, vanilla, strawberry etc. The sand must be poured into the litter box and let it for a few days. If ur lucky enough, ur hamster will attracted to the scent and began to dig and lay on the sand in the box. Soon the hamsters will frequently go to the litter box to poo and pee (they may poo and pee at other locations as well, but maybe less than before). When the litter box is visually stained and dirty, u can clean it up and refill the clean sand again. One thing to remember, once u take the litter box easy (means ur not cleaning it well, just put empty litter box w/o the sand, fill it with woodcharks), the hamsters may make the litter box as their "new home/sleeping bed", however do not worry these though. Lastly, try not to shift the litter box position frequently as they may "forget" their "toilet".

Why is your cat not using litter box?

The litter box may not be clean enough for the cat or the cat feels uncomfortable in the litter box; a litter box should be cleaned every day or every second day, depending on how many cats you have. Maybe the cat does not know where the litter box is, if you move the litter box and don't show the cat its new location the cat won't know where the box is. The cat also mightn't be trained to use a litter box properly and might need a little help using it. Also, if a cat is very old, they mightn't realise they have to use the litter box or they do not have time to get to the litter box before they urinate etc. . The cat could also be sick.if your cat is just a kitten then the box might be too clean the kitten must smell where the toilet is.
