how do you train a guinea pig to poop in a certain area only - like how to toilet train them?

p.s. im not trying to be funny here people!
Answers:
Some guinea pigs can be trained to urinate in a litter box and there are various methods for that. But they will never be trained to poop in any one area. All guinea pigs will just poop where they are at the moment. And that is something that they do a lot of.

To litter train a guine pig (again only works for urination):

If there is a spot they favor, place the litter box there.

When they urinate, place those wet shavings in the litter box. The scent of the urine will usually draw them to go there. (Again it depends on the pig and not all are trainable.)

To cut down on poop everwhere you can place a litter box under their hay rack and they will gladly go there as they munch.

Keep him / her in a cage.
well they usually do, they wont (shouldnt) poo in their bed
You can't. They are not that smart.

Rabbits can be trained to do this because that is their natural instinct to do so.

Guinea pigs go everywhere that is just how they are.
ROFL!!
I don't think you can!
They just poop everywhere.
=)
Sorry, not much of a way. Some people claim to hve litter train them.
leave them in the cage or put them outside with supervision. but most people use a litter box. Mine poops anywhere has they please.
I think they'll do it only if they want to. Piggies generally like to poo in a certain corner or whatever. If they don't naturally do this, I don't think there is anything you can do. Maybe try a different bedding or something.

We put a little litterbox in the corner of the cage, but that was because the piggies were already pooing in that corner. If yours don't go in one spot, a litterbox won't help.
give them written tests
