  Hi,
  
  I had 2 bonded neutered/males, introduced a 3rd neutered/male. It was a bumpy road at first, but now all 3 are bonded and have been for approximately 2 months. They or someone is not urinating in the litterbox. They are urinating, a bunch, on a sheet that is in their enclosure. Each had wonderful litterbox habits before the bonding of the three. They are housed in a large x-pen. Should I decrease the x-pen size in order to encourage use of the litterbox? what should I do? HELP!!

  Perhaps remove the sheet since that seems so attractive to them. And adding another litterbox might help. Good luck!

  I was going to suggest exactly the same thing!
  
  It’s normal for bunnies to lose litter habits post bond. Increasing the amount of litter boxes and removing the sheet might help.
