I have two bunnies. They are 6 months apart. The oldest is 3 years old and the youngest is 2.5 years old. They are both male and neutered. They are both litter trained. They both have a seperate house each with its own litter pan. They are not “bound” to their house. They are free roaming house bunnies. I limit them to the living room where we are all the time. The oldest is good. He poops and pees in his litter box. The youngest has just started mabye about 4 months now, to only poop in front of his house. He pees in his litter box (thank god). He is right in front of it, jump in and poop. No, he poops in front of it.
I did notice that they are both using the same litter box. They used to use both, but now its the one. Why? Is it a competition of whos territory it is? could it be since they both use the same box, only one bunny owns the box so the other has to use the floor? But there is another box in the other house. I dont understand him, i pick up the poops and put it in the litter box, or i throw them away. I tell him not to poop there but he continues.
i bought some spray that is suppose to discourage them from pooping on the floor. it only works when i do it. once its all dried up, he goes back to pooping there.
how can i make him poop in his box. he knows to do it. i dont know why he changed his behavior.
