Exactly, It urinates....I take it out of the cage to clean, and it either urinates on the floor, or not long after I put him back in the cage. My wife is about ready to kill me. As a temporary solution, I am going to buy a large plastic container to place him in while cleaning the cage. I hate to have to resort to this, as I like to get my animals out while cleaning for some exercise and handling. I'm hoping this resolves itself once I get the infection cleared up.....I'm beginning to wonder though, as that's two posts already that mentioned a correlation with feeding and urinating heavily.
You know what, I've got the same problem also. After feeding I usually give him 3 or 4 days without being handled to digest and relax. I also do not let him out of the cage because he will urinate all over. For instance I feed him on Saturday and he has urinated twice since then. When he isn't digesting a big meal he is pretty good.
As a side note, I'm pretty sure he has worms and this may (I hope) be the reason for his frequent urination as he is only 20 months old. I'm definitly bringing this up to the vet.
