Gypsy turned 8 weeks old on Monday and i've had her since the 8th. As soon as I got her, I immediately began to do the crate training.
There are some problems, though. I wake up at 8, take her for a walk, feed her, play with her, take her out again, and then play with her some more until I go into work at 10. She usually pees first thing in the morning. When I take her second time, she pees and poops. I live right next to where I work, so if it's slow (always is until noon), I will come up at 11:30 and take her out. She sometimes has a surprise for me and most of the time it's poop. I figured this might be normal because of her small bladder, but didn't know if there was something else I could do because I hate the idea of her just sitting down in her filth.
Her cage has a divider and it's setup so she pretty much only has room to lay down in.
Is there something else I should be doing?
Thank you all for the help!

Also, this is probably important and I forgot to mention.
I come home from work at 2:30 and repeat the morning routine until 4:30 when I go back in. Then I'll come up at about 6 and I get off work at about 8:30.
That was one of my concerns about getting her so soon, too. I really haven't read anything on why it would be a problem, though. I try and play with her as much as I can after she eats for things "to get moving", but i'll try walking her tomorrow to see if that helps. It's just weird. She'll do her business and then do it again in an hour and I don't give her water or food before I put her away.
Thank you for the help!
Thank you everyone for the replies!
I suppose I posted this more or less just to ease my mind about it, but I will keep it up with the way i'm currently doing things. I also don't like the idea of leaving her in a mess.
