        I am having issues with my little boy Poe. He doesn’t seem understand the concept of the litter box. He sleeps in it and instead pees everywhere else in this enclosure. I mean everywhere. There is no particular corner preference. 

        When I adopted Bubba, my female, at 3 months of age she was already perfectly trained. I never really had to teach her to use the litter box, she just took to it. Occasionally there would be an accident, but  only when she was out of her enclosure and it would only happen if she didn’t have access to her litter box. 

        Poe is a whole different story. He likes to sleep on soft things so I provided him with a bunny bed and a towel. He still proceeded to pee everywhere and elected to sleep in the litter. 

        I this behavior normal? Is it because he’s still very young? Is this a boy thing? He hasn’t been neutered yet because he’s too young for the operation, could this be the reason? The two have not been bonded yet, could this be a territorial thing?

        What should I do?

          I would keep cleaning the pee up and using white vinegar to get rid of the smell. If he poops outside of the box I would put those in the box so he knows where they’re supposed to go. You might also want to provide another box. This might improve his habits, but he probably won’t get really good at it until he’s neutered and used to your other rabbit. Good luck!
