 So why do they pee or poop like nobody’s business :) ? This is their way of marking territory. In order to stop this behaviour, you may consider spaying or neutering them. There are other benefits for this, rabbits can live longer and healthier as the risk of cancer and UTI(Urinary Tract Infections) are greatly reduced. Rabbits tend to become calmer and easier to manage after being spayed or neutered as well. Some spayed or neutered rabbits may continue to mark their territory with their poop outside their litter box, you shouldn’t get alarmed as it’s quite normal for them to do so. There are times they do it on purpose to show you who is the boss:) If your rabbit is already litter box trained from young and suddenly you notice he/she starts peeing out of the box, it could be a sign that he/she is unwell due to UTI, kidney or bladder stone etc. Bring them to the vet to examine immediately. Generally, rabbits are very fastidious animals. They are perfect indoor pets if you litter-box trained them correctly. Sometimes they may need professional grooming as their bottom gets stuck with poop and stained with pee. Mobile Rabbit Grooming Services is the best way to have them cleaned.

I just bought a pet rabbit for my daughter and she is kept indoors. Yesterday it made quite mess as it pooped and peed all over the house and got herself really dirty. Thank you for pointing out that this is her way of marking her territory as she's new. I will be sure to train her to use the litter box. For now, I will look for a rabbit grooming place to ensure she's groomed and kept tidy every few weeks.

We have 3 rabbits. 1 male, 1 female, and 1... undecided with no reproductive organs. Anyway, the male and female decided to bond and they've been inseparable ever since. Since the bonding the rabbits have pooped and peed all over the place. They were previously trained, and have both been fixed. This is actually damaging my home and I need some guidance. I don't want to put them in cages or separate them but I am very, very close to it!

Susan…same. I am becoming so frustrated as they have destroyed every inch and corner of our place. They have stained the floors, chewed anything they can and just have caused so much chaos to where I dread waking up in the morning or going home due to all the mess. We just replaced all the furniture, flooring, rugs so now I have them in a 10x10 corner that they have destroyed. They don’t play with toys, they are all fixed (3) and were all at one point litter box trained. I just purchased a large rabbit hutch for outside which is going to be their new home. They will be on the shaded lanai. I have exhausted all other options. Those are my babies but I refuse to live in filth.

I just adopted 2 bunnies under a year old at the start of this year. 1 male, 1 female. We got the male fixed first and they bonded immediately. The problem is, even though the boy is fixed I sometimes still caught him peeing or pooing outside of the litter box. First I thought he was influenced by our female so we got her fixed too. But after being fixed, both of them still pee and poo EVERYWHERE which is very frustrating to me. I've tried many methods, changing their litter more, picking up after them, but it's just not working. So I went on the Internet in search of litter training tips, but all of them generally said to neuter your rabbit first then all will be solved. Well, it's clearly not happening. So please anyone give me Advice?

My daughter has a male bunny(Dawson). Just recently adopted another male bunny (Rex). She kept them separate for two weeks then got both neutered. Kept them separate but introduced them within a gate apart. We let them in the same room but had to separate due to humping. For two weeks we slowiy gave them more time together. Eventually they stopped humping. They are fine now but Rex has a serious issue with urinating all over the house. We have tried all kinds of advice but he won't stop. She does not want to give him away. She needs help. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
