Such an evil cackle!

Bunnies respond much more to positive reinforcement than punishment. I would get some alternative chew things so you can redirect to a tasty willow ball, or a willow basket or tunnel, or some wood chew blocks on a rope. You can buy them on line to get some really good, healthy chew toys. You need to show your bunny that chewing is ok, but only certain things. If she takes a chomp of the chew toy, give her a treat as well so she thinks “that wall was OK, but this is much better.”

Spray the area around the laundry lightly with water and vinegar. It won’t smell to you after a minute, but will repel the bunny from that area as well. For that matter, a light spray at bunny height on the wallpaper will help, too. Do Not spray the vinegar/water solution directly on the bunny ever. That would hurt and be like having acid in your eyes and getting skunk on yourself that you couldn’t wash off. Stick to water only in the spray bottle used on the bunny, sparingly.

I found the spray bottle didn’t work for my first two bunnies. The one naughty boy would continue to go back to doing bad things right away (chewing furnature/carpet etc.) I tried soap, bitter apple and hot sause on differnt occassions and his lop brother would lick it off and he would go back to chewing it. I use vinegar for cleaning, i wish i would have tried that now (this is all years ago) as when my lop ate the hot sauce i felt terrible (he quite enjoyed it).

I remove the offending rabbit from the area that they are wrecking now, and offer them a new toy. Seems to work.

Sara — I would try the vingar/water solution that others have mentioned. Does she only do it when you aren’t around (because you stated when you got off the bed)? Perhaps if you are interacting with her and have to get up to leave you take her with you, or sit her in her litterbox. Just a suggestion…I know others on here know a lot more than I do….

I would hope you would not send her back. Do you think she is “testing the waters?” Maybe she in some odd way is seeing if you really will love her forever, unlike the two others who bought her back…

We don’t let our buns on the bed for longer than a couple minutes. I think it’s a good idea to keep her off the bed permanently (and couches too if couches trigger her to mark.) Interact with her on the floor only.

oh eau, I know how you feel Sara. My Pringles was an obsessive bed pee-er when she was young. I got tired of washing all the bedding everyday and bought several really cheap, large plastic tablecloths to throw over it as soon as I made it up. She still pee’d but I think she got disgusted with getting her feet and bunbutt wet and after about 10 days she quit. I put the dirty one on for several days before changing to a clean one and maybe she decided she’d ‘made her mark’ on it for good.

Now she hops up and lounges but hasn’t peed on it in over 3 years.

I dealt with bed peeing too before Indy was neutered, but it’s not fair to be so angry with them, after all you are the one allowing her to be up there. I lined the exposed walls in my room with grids, Bumblebee has been destructive lately so I am taking all precautions. I would try some new toys, and wipe down the favored destruction zones with vinegar water and go from there. Other members have posted some great ideas so hopefully some here will help you.

Honestly, getting mad, chasing her to her house with a spray bottle and slamming the cage shut has not taught her anything. I have found negative energy/enforcment does nothing for a bunny other then make them loose trust in you and have them act out in more ways.

I have bed pee-rs, the only time they are on the bed is if they are with me, and some gotta go. It may be best to make sure the bunny has peed before taking them for time on the bed, and making the time they are there only 10 minutes at a time.
I’ve even put a litter box on the bed, so if someone tried to go I can pick them up and put them in the box. If they pee in the box, I know they had to go (so i praise them for useing the box), if they don’t pee i know they are being a brat (or marking) and play time is then over and they go back into their house.

I have 1 rabbit who will not litter train, it just means his privledges are reduced to smaller sessions and he is never left alone. We need to try and teach, and adapt. They are just rabbits afterall.
