Don't tell me it can't be done because i know it can...
I'm trying to potty train my guinea pig... I have a covered corner littler box for the cage and have already put some soiled bedding in it. He tends to kind of hang out in there and I have already cought him peeing outside of the litter box. I only got him yesterday and have installed the littler box today. I also placed bedding in the litter box and removed all bedding from the rest of his cage. Is it bad if he hangs out in the litter box? Should I uncover it? Is there anything I can do to make him want to go to the bathroom in the littler box? Any other suggestions? His cage is about 2x3 feet...

You bloody well can train guineas. You can even train hamsters, I've seen it!
You're doing the right thing, just perservere. It's not a big deal if he hangs out in his litter tray, they usually hang around in their poo anyway.
Just be aware that you may want to try an un-covered litter tray - guineas are more likely to want to hide and sleep in something covered. See where he chooses to pee/poo and put the tray there.
They can control where they go, they're not incontinent. Even my mouse chose to only poo in one specific corner of the room when he had the run of the place - I could've put a little tray there for him!

I have a 2x6 C&C cage with 2 muddle packing containers. They poop far and wide the cage, nevertheless it does not odor in any respect. I difference the fleece with 2 towels beneath as soon as per week. Some can also be expert, a few are not able to. Put the hayrack or field of hay or some thing you could have above the muddle field or in it, as cavies more often than not poop and pee whilst they devour. When they pass external of the muddle field, opt for up the poop and positioned it within the field, they usually would get the thought, would now not. Either means, you'll blank out the muddle field extra usually than the complete cage if you are concerned approximately odor.

You're thinking of rabbits. Rabbits are very clean animals and tend to only "go" in one area; depending on how big their roaming space is.
Guinea pigs are not the same as rabbits (cavys Vs. lagamorphs) and therefore are not even slightly similar.

They cannot control when they go, thus they cannot be trained. Dont tell me they can, because I know they cant.
Look it up.
