Please think very carefully before you decide on this method. Yes is it possible to litter box train these little guys, but I have encountered a few drawbacks and am hoping we can retrian Biggie to the outside. First is the cost of the large bags is about $15.00 and each bag lasts us about a week. Biggie will only use it if has very little urine in it. If it is not he will use the carpet. Second he is a male and stands one foot in and one foot out and his aim is not always that great, so I'm always cleaning up in front of the box. We live in New England and the only place I can seem to obtain the litter is at Pet Smart or Pet Co. and sometimes they are just out of it. The upside is that it is great when there is a few feet of snow outside or for someone who is in an apt. Anyway I hope I havent been too discouraging. Depending on your situation it may be a good choice for you.
