Hay in the litterbox always makes my rabbits eager to use it. My rabbits are a tad older and desexed, but they will still leave occasional droppings around the box, and sometimes this happens if they suddenly jump out and pebbles pop out as they do so, haha. I have seen it happen. They also do this when I put a clean litter box inside, so I’m not sure if it’s a territorial thing or what, which is maybe what yours do when they pee. Yours are also healing after the surgery and they are most likely dealing with hormones, so I wouldn’t worry too much, unless it becomes a real big problem. It took about a month for my boy to stop humping the chihuahua’s or my leg, which was really funny, because my dogs are so low key around the rabbits. I think your rabbits need a bit more time, that’s all.

Because they were almost 9 months old when spayed, I’m assuming they were having regular pee accidents. It may take several weeks before you start to see improvements in their toilet habits. It takes roughly 4 weeks for all of the hormones to leave a rabbit’s system post spay/neuter, and those hormones would have likely been the reason they were regularly missing the litter tray. You are doing the right thing in how you are managing the messes, just give them more time and I’m sure you’ll see improvement.

What sort of stain remover do you use? You can also use a 50/50 water/vinegar solution.

Yes, white vinegar is safe for bunnies, and they don’t much like the smell of it either. You may be able to spray it on the edges of the puzzle mats to prevent them from chewing. I liked to use vinegar for pee messes because Bandit was a big floor licker and I didn’t want him licking up remnants of cleaning chemicals, however I’ve not used it on carpet so I’m not sure what rules apply there. Otherwise I have heard that some people use apple cider vinegar as a chewing deterrent (although I’ve also heard that some bunnies love it). Bandit used to chew on his puzzle mats, he just used to rip pieces off, and not ingest any fortunately.

I NEED ADVICE!!!!

 Kennys hutch is 2 parts, a little hidey hole which i put a brick in to keep her cool and then a playing area (also where food and water is), i figured out early what corner she preferred to litter in and i put a litter box there, she did poop and pee in it but she also did that everywhere else but mostly in the box, as she has gotten a little older she gets more bored (we give her a run every day to help that) but during the day when everyones out, she runs around the cage so much she always knocks the litter over and all the litter goes all over the cage and  it ends up smelling awful, i have now just stopped putting it in but i have to clean the cage almost daily!!

how do i stop her from knocking this over???
