        We got our bunny Jax one week ago from the humane society. He is a one year and 3 month old neutered male. The first day we got him we set him up in our kitchen and left him alone until the following morning. When I woke up there was a bit of poop around his carrier and near his litter box but all the pee and rest of his poop was in the litter box. Since then we got him a slightly different litter box and moved it to the other side of the kitchen and he had no problems finding it and using it. He never has any pee accidents and we usually only find one or two poop pellets in other places in the kitchen. 

        We are still working on setting up a good environment for him, but I noticed he seemed to enjoy walking on these logs I bought from the pet store. So I went out and got a second set. However, a few days after he had them, he’s been consistently pooping and occasionally peeing on these logs. I dump his poop into his litter box and clean up the pee right away (as soon as I notice), but I’m not sure how to get him to stop. It seems very unusual for him. He has not peed anywhere else in the whole house even when he someone escaped from the kitchen – he ran straight for his litter box when we brought him back. He didn’t even pee in his carrier when we brought him home from the humane society. Not sure why he insists on using the logs as his toilet!

          Since it was from a store I’m not sure.

          I know the couple of times i brought mine a basket or box home from the rescue they declared all out POOP and urine war on it. I went to work and came home a few hours later to find two twitchy nose babies side by side and a mountain of poop behind them in the box. Damn proud of their work ! Left me wondering how anything could produce that much poop on demand !

          Hopefully someone else will be able to help with the mystery.

          Though I can say once they pee on it, not likely to be able to salvage that item. I threw both basket ( which I’d been looking for forever ! ) and box out.

              The logs have wire in them so I just made one into a tunnel and draped the other one over his carrier (like a roof and siding) and he has not had any issues with it since. We we wondering if the texture of standing on the logs reminded him of his litter box, so now we’re making sure he doesn’t step on top of them.
