My 2 bonded girls are litter trained, for the most part. They haven’t ever been perfect at it, but they were good enough for me. They are free roam, so their base is set up in the kitchen. They haven’t ever gone to the bathroom on the carpet or kitchen floor, except for stray poops here and there. They have always gone somewhere in their cage, when they had one. Right now their set up is a large dog crate bottom surrounded with grids, but always open. I have 2 litter boxes filled with pellets and also have a layer of pellets on the dog crate, because they don’t always use the boxes, but they always the go somewhere in the crate, which is fine. This has worked up until recently.
I also have a male bunny that isn’t old enough to be neutered yet. He is housed in our bedroom, which is carpet, but since he has horrible litter habits right now, it was really tough to keep up with the cleaning when he was out of the cage. I had a very short lived idea to make a fenced area in the kitchen because the linoleum is way easier to clean than carpet, as I am sure you all know,
. I had grids cutting the kitchen in half and were 2 grids high, but I couldn’t find a way to keep it stable enough to not get knocked around. As soon as my girls realized he was there, they were way too curious to leave the “fence” alone. Little bunny is a little devil too, and since he is super tiny can slip through any little crack. So he did eventually find a way out and he and Gretel had a tiff and tumbled around a little bit. Don’t worry, everyone was okay. Now he is back in my room and we just deal with the cleaning. Now back to the point.
We cleaned up the kitchen area with vinegar, but they are peeing and pooping all over the floor! It’s not in just one particular spot too, so putting another litter box wouldn’t solve the problem. I’m assuming it’s for marking purposes, but how can I remedy the situation. Is there a special cleaner, or have they forgotten how to use the litter box?
