Is she spayed? It may be hormones telling her to cover your scent with her own…

Does she do this also when she has cuddle time there? I would block off the bed for when you aren’t there and only alllow her up there when you’re there with her so you can supervise. Popping a litterbox on the bed during that time might help. When you see she’s about to mark, you could encourage her into the box.

I feel your pain Cadbury. My rabbit actually nailed me in the face when I was about to sleep. You should have seen how fast I flung myself out of bed. In my case I know it’s hormonal for him, he’s a teenager and as everyone said he is claiming me – he only does it when I am in the bed too. But I know how you feel about cuddle time, I love snuggling him in bed too but dang not when he pee’s in it. How she marks “her side” – Indy mostly pee’s on the side of the bed I don’t usually sleep on and then on my pillow. Does she ever mark your pillow as well or just “her” side?

I think Jerseygirl has the right idea, I’d keep her off of it when you aren’t home. I lock Indy up now at night so my problem is solved. His neuter is coming soon and then I can work on that with him, hopefully it will just stop. *crosses fingers* The liter tray is also a good idea to try. This problem really stinks because it’s your bed!! It makes me feel a tiny better to know that I’m not the only person with a tinkly bed :p

Oh I forgot to add – when I was being “soft” and not locking him up at night, I put a fleece blanket over my pillows and he wouldn’t come near it. I don’t know if it was strange looking, or it’s smell since it was on the back of the couch it probably has dog and cat smell. And as I am writing this he is on my bed “grooming’ my sheet. Great. Time to plunk him off the bed.

The problem is that she (for the most part) does it when I’m not around

When you punish a behavior what your teaching is you do something bad to them, when they do the behavior.
Your not teaching what you want-which is that when they do something- something bad happens.
So by punishing you teach the animal to continue the behavior when your not there-make sense?
Their not learning the behavior is bad-they are learning doing it in your presence is bad-which you don’t want -you should equal a good thing.

Is she spayed? That will stop or really reduce marking. And you’ll need to keep her off the bed for a while-several weeks. Not just when your there but always for a few weeks at least. It’s your bed and she’s not allowed on-totally block it off If she’s spayed give her time to adjust to not being allowed on and then you can gradually allow her on in short periods. But if she’s not spayed-do so And then start allowing her on the bed for short periods. Take her off the bed (With a treat) BEFORE she marks She’ll learn not to

Also, you may have misunderstood about how to show dominance to a rabbit. You would not push their bottom down, but rather their head. Gently pressing their head down shows that you are the boss… at least for a moment. ;o)
