  I have 2 female spayed dwarf bunnies. They were kept as free roaming buns in a 10X10 tiled s screened patio from 4 weeks old till 8 months old. They had a cage they were able to enter and exit as they wished which housed their hay, pellets and water. 100% of all their poop and pee was always done inside this cage. i rarely found poop anywhere else. we recently moved and they are not kept on a 12×6 bedroom with the same said cage, same cardboard castles and same toys/bowls/etc. since moving 3 weeks ago, it is constant poop and pee/spray all over the room. i have read that they are marking their new territory…how much longer can i expect this to last?

  It can often take at least a few weeks for territorial marking in a new environment to go away, it may also depend on what pets were kept in the house previously that have left a smell around. I’m afraid I can’t be a great deal of help though because both times that I moved with Bandit, it was never really a problem.
