My suggestion, and it is a hard one at that, would be to X-pen her and not let her out until she gets used to using the litter box. You can find more litter box training info on this site.

Oh, and pooing in different places tends to be normal as that’s how a bun marks territory.

with rabbits you have to start out in a small space until the litter habits are acceptable there.  that means peeing in the box and getting most poops in there.  most rabbits will continue to drop poops here and there even after littertrained, fortunately they’re easy enough to sweep up.  has your rabbit been spayed yet?  if not, once she is fixed her litter habits should improve as well.

welcome Laylalover!

many bunnies do not get the hang on litterbox training until after they’re spayed or neutered. bunnies are highly territorial and they way they most often mark their territory is with poo and peeing. I also find what Beka suggested really helps – I would limit her space and add more litterboxes. Once she really has improved, you’ll want to slowly increase her roaming area.

You are correct that 80% of unspayed buns will get some sort of cancer! That’s what tipped the scales for me.

The procedure isn’t dangerous, and it pretty routine if you have a good rabbit savy vet; I found mine by emailing all the vet clinics in my area a ‘form’ email. (If you do this, remember to put the vet clinic’s name in the subject line, that way when they respond you know who it is!) I asked if they saw rabbits, how many a month typically, the price and procedure for spay/neuter and also a few trick questions. The one’s who answered the trick questions correctly ‘passed’ in my mind; Then I used price to guide me from there.

My trick questions were : a) How long do rabbit’s have to fast before surgery-this is a trick as you should NEVER fast a rabbit and they can’t vomit so it’s unnecessary. b) How long did they stay at the clinic. -A good vet should send the rabbit home as soon as they are eating or at least by the end of the day-provided there were no complications, as rabbits recover (generally) better at home where they are less stressed. c) what type of antibiotics/pain meds do you give; I wanted them to say antibiotics were only necessary if blah blah…and to not name an incorrect antibiotic (you can google any antibiotic name they give you to see if it’s rabbit suitable) and to send me home with pain meds (like metacam). ]

House Rabbit Society has a good article on find a vet as well: http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/vet.html

Good luck!! And welcome to binkybunny!!

Yes I agree with others that you need to give her a much smaller space until she gets it!  An xpen attached to her cage is ideal.  I would put a litter box in the cage and in the xpen.  That’s what I did with Edson and it really works.

have you found a vet yet? do you know how old she is? you may want to get her an exam soon so you will have an idea how soon she can be altered. she’s peeing on the bed b/c it smells the most like you. try getting a plastic shower curtain from the dollar store and putting it over the top while you’re not using the bed. that way it will be protected. do you have an xpen? if she is good everywhere but the bed, and there’s no door you can close, how about xpening around the bed, rather than her.

laylalover i know it seems scary to get a bunny neutered but it isnt that bad really! better to have it done than not

Yep, that’s territorial. There could be two different reasons she’s doing it. One she’s trying to claim it as hers, or she’s just saying she’s part of your clan. Either way, you have to let her know it’s not acceptable, and for now, do not let her on the bed at all when you are there. You have to claim the bed as yours so she is a “guest” on the bed. She can still be part of your clan, but you can claim the bed as yours only.

Once she’s spayed, her need to mark due to territory should die down. (note it can take a month for you to start to see results)

I like the idea of a plastic shower curtain cover for the bed while she’s not being supervised.

If this link doesn’t work, then go to http://www.rabbitvet.net, World Rabbit Veterinarians, and scroll for Israel. There is a list of about 4 or 5 vets, though I can’t see which city but you will probably recognize their locations. If that doesn’t work, just start with the House Rabbit Society and do a search on their site for world vets, Israel:

http://www.rabbit.org  (House Rabbit Society is a great site to bookmark since it has advice on all kinds of bunny related things.

wow you live in jerusalem AND you have a bun how cool.  people worldwide have pets and we meet on 1 website here isn’t that wonderful

I sure hope you find the vet you are looking for. buns do seem so delicate but a good vet will do a blood test first is more expensive but that should calm the anxiety you feel over the spay/neuter. I understand how you feel I stayed at the vets all day with my male lol.

Your girl bun will be much happier once she is spayed.  And so will YOU!  LOL.
