        Hi please can someone suggest how I can train Lottie my 5 month old spayed lop bunny. Although I have Scamp a lop buck for over a year now , he was very easy to litter train not a problem. Lottie on the other hand is a very different bunny.She poops any where ,!! And the thing is because she is a very timid bunny you cannot get near her to pick her up and put her on the litter tray . Both are house Bunnie’s .Scamp has been an excellent pet from day one. Lottie on the other hand a very shy and timid bunny ,and ideas ???? Fran .

          First, are they both separated or properly bonded? Marking may result from the overlap in territory.

          Your rabbit is only 5mo, so I imagine she was spayed fairly recently. The hormonal spike lingers for about a month of females post spay, so if they aren’t bonded, wait 2-4 weeks before starting the bond. Separate them until then.

          Doing all feeding in the litter box may help. You can also restrict her free roam area so she picks up on the purpose of the litter box and you can control the variables more.
