I have a mature doe living in a moveable pen that has a run area of a bit over 6ftx4ft with a shelter at the end a bit over 4ft wide 3 high and 2 deep and I use old newspapers on the floor. She used to be quite clean only occasionally chewing up some of the paper or dragging it out into the run but after she had a litter of kits, once they were about 3 weeks old and starting to explore she started pooping and peeing in the shelter. At first it was only a little bit but the problem quickly increased to the point of where she seems to specifically use the shelter as a toilet often ducking in there for a few seconds then reappearing and when I check.. there's fresh pee or poop in there. It also seems like the kits started to copy her and the shelter is just a mess all the time.
Any suggestion as to why she's such a filthy cow and how to stop her.
