ABSTRACT:
A surface portion (104, 204) is accessible to a small animal within the confines of the animal's habitat. The surface portion (104, 204) may be an integral part of the animal's habitat, such as a tubular member (100) of an animal run. Alternatively, the surface portion (204) may be a part of a stand alone waste depository (200) that is added to the animal's habitat. The container (110, 210) is preferably removably mounted under an opening (106, 206) in the surface portion (104, 204) such that an opening (114, 214) in the container and the opening (106, 206) in the surface portion (104, 204) form a channel for receiving bodily excrement from the small animal when the small animal is on the surface portion (104, 204). The channel directs the bodily excrement to the container (110, 210) below the surface portion (104, 204). Ventilation (112, 212) is provided to dry the waste and divert odors from the waste from the small animal's general living area.
