        Ok so I know this is another weeing on the bed post but…

        Pancakes has just weed on the bed. But not in a scent marking spray type wee, this was a niagra falls, tsunami wave, torrential flood of wee that soaked through a blanket, a duvet, a sheet. an under sheet and through to the matress.

        There was also poo EVERYWHERE.

        We have had her on the bed quite a lot and she hasn’t done this before.

        She is about six months old, and not yet spayed – booked in for the 6th of Feb. I’m sure you are all going to tell me she is territory marking/covering over our scent. It could well be this, bit it seemed like an AWFUL lot of pee to be scent marking.

        What do you all think? Scent marking ot just being too lazy to go back to her litterbox?

        In general her litter habbits are in decline at the moment. She has her own room, and up until now has been great at 99% of the time just going in her boxes, but today, even after she had relieved herself all over the bed she pooed all over her room as well. I didnt ever really train her to use her litter box, she just chose a corner, I put a box there and she used it. Do I need to start litter training her with a more hands on approach?

        Needless to say she is now well and truly banned from the bedroom and I have a LOT of washing to do tomorrow.

          She needs to be kept off of problem areas like beds or couches until she is spayed, her hormones settle and her behavior settles. Some young bunnies are worse than others about doing this- Cotton was terrible and we had to keep her off the couch until she was older, spayed and more mentally mature. Even a large amount of urine can be used for marking.

            Unaltered buns generally do get worse at litterbox training when they hit puberty. Spaying would be a great start to fixing that.

              I know this is really stressful for you; when my bun wasn’t spayed she was a peeing machine, and wasn’t super keen on using her box. I was posting on here constantly and nearly having mental breakdowns – it’s hard work keeping an eye on them AND cleaning up pee/poop constantly. You’re doing the right thing by spaying her, and it’s soon, so be happy! My bun settled into her litterbox habits right away after her spay, and she’s been really good ever since then. Just remember that it’s your bunny’s hormones and not really their fault.

                You don’t need to do any additional training – she got it and was fine before hormones. If she has any loose stools like diarrhea then you should see a vet. Otherwise, you need to keep her off the bed until a month after she is spayed to avoid any more behavior like this. Make the appointment for asap!
