I adopted my ~10 month old Holland Lop buck last week.  He is not yet neutered, but once my neuter certificate comes in the mail it will be scheduled ASAP!

I totally understand that spraying is an extremely common territorial behavior of bunnies, especially unaltered males.   My bunny hasn’t done it much except over the past 2 nights, both times are when I have ventured toward the middle of the Xpen toward his cage (he lives in an xpen and open cage during the day).  I need to go to his cage to change the litter box and add hay. 

Both times after he’s sprayed I immediately have mopped up what I could with a white vinegar/water solution and just kind of left him alone for a while after that.  He is usually good about me sitting in his xpen with him and loves to cuddle during the day – he will literally put his head in my lap and go to sleep grinding his teeth happily while I pet him!

So, should I continue to do what I’ve been doing and just clean up immediately with the white vinegar and water?  And should I try something like distracting him wiht food when I go to clean his litter pans in his actual cage?  Also, is it still likely that this behavior will diminish after he is neutered even though he is a few months past puberty?

On a positive note, he is doing GREAT with litter training – only peed once outside of the box and that was right when I brought him home.  He scent marks with a pellet here or there but anything major has been right in his box!  Pretty impressive given that training had never been attempted in his previous home.
