I am going to get Ally a covered box too. I have been toying with the idea for a while, but also wasn't sure how she would adjust - and they are really expensive!

But when I picked her up at the cattery on Saturday (thats another story - we were gone for 16 days and she is as skinny as a stray!) - they had a covered box in her enclosure, and they said she was using it with no problems. (They gave her a covered one because she is a really messy digger - the floor around her box is like a beach - no matter how many times I sweep up)

At the moment we have her box in a storeroom off the kitchen, but we may be moving house soon, and her box will be in far corner of the kitchen, so I want to change to covered for hygene purposes also

I'll let you know how it goes - please keep us updated
