try to get a litter box that you can put under her exercise wheel they are more likely to use it there, I found that a frisbee with a little bedding in it works very well you just empty it every day and rinse it off and put a little more bedding in it.

I just made a litter box out of coroplast, so it would fit in her custom made cage nice and snug. It sticks out about 8 inches in front of her wheel, which is important. A hog needs about 6 inches exposed, wheel-free space in their litter box. Just place it under their wheel, and they'll get the hint. Also, when they do their business out of the litter box, pick it up and place it in the litter box. If they pee on the floor or something, soak it up on a paper towel and place it in the litter box.

Most importantly, don't clean the litter box for a couple days, so they learn to associate. Then, clean it out, but leave a few poops in there to reinforce. Eventually, they'll know exactly what to do without the reminder. :)
