Is the head tilt caused by EC by any chance? If your girl does have EC it’s likely the urine everywhere is caused by that. When EC affects the kidneys it can make them pee in odd places and dribble, so that’s a possibility.

Do you have another bunny or just her? If you do she’s probably still pooping everywhere to mark her territory.

How perplexing!

My first thought was a medical issue, possibly a bladder infection, or EC as A&B suggested. I also wonder if there might have been a complication with her spay? Did you have her pre-spay or did you just adopt her? I think ruling those out should be the first step.

It is really odd that she won’t use her box at all. When my buns mark, they usually do it in addition to using their box, not instead of, so there is probably something else going on. I vaguely remember a member a while ago having a bunny that didn’t like to poop or pee while eating hay, so they ended up moving the hay outside the box and it worked a charm. Super strange, and pretty much the opposite of every bunny ever, but might be worth a shot!

If you remove all the litter boxes, will she pick a corner? Or still go all over?

In the meantime puppy pee-pads will probably be your best friend….

EC isn’t an antibiotic based thing. It’s an actual parasite and it can, unfortunately never be cured. You can kill the spores with deworming meds like Oxibendazole and Panacur, but it’s ultimately something she will have for the rest of her life. I suggest getting her to the vet and on a round of one of the drugs as she could be having a flare up. EC symptoms can happen once in a bunny’s life or several times. My Bombur has kidney complications due to EC and he’s been on 4 rounds of Oxibendazole since February. He dribbles urine and pees everywhere during a flare up. Especially because your girl has head tilt and what appears to be kidney related complications as well, it’s something you’re going to have to consistently monitor her for throughout the course of her life.

Speaking from my experiences with Wick, I feel like some rabbits don’t really “click” with litter box training. Thinking about it at its core, litter boxes are really something we impose onto rabbits, which is possible because they are naturally inclined to fixate on certain spots to eat and do their business. But we’re designating “this is your toilet”. Putting myself in those shoes, I imagine that myself, liking my toilet as my go-to spot, suddenly being told “Nope. Not the toilet. You need to go in this corner.” I found it difficult to answer Wick’s foot flicks which represent the question, “Why did I have to go in there instead of where I was? Gosh.” Because the answer is, it’s convenient for me, even though you may not think so.

Interestingly, Wick also can eat hay without pooping or peeing. He has 8 sources of hay. 4 are in litter boxes, and the other 4 are fabric feeders in his hutch. For reasons beyond my comprehension, Wick will not poop or pee when eating hay from a fabric feeder, versus it being piled in a box. I’m confident in this because I wanted to use a fabric feeder in the litter box to prevent him from peeing on hay he’d dig through, but after three days, he never peed or poop in that litter box I experimented with. Beyond me.

How are you presenting the hay in the box? Wick seems to like digging for a good piece, and i find that natural inclination goes along with him pooping and peeing in that context.

Wick’s litter box adherent is acceptable, at best. I probably clean two pees a day on average now because he tends to just pee after he’s done a cecotropes eating, and he does that on carpet so he has more traction (or he’ll fall over), which is much lower than it was, and there are some days there are none thank goodness. I did a more aggressive litter training process and consistently do it. I make the same snake hiss sound when I see he is about to pee, and I’ll march up to him, pick him up, and put him in the box and keep him there until he pees. I do this every time. Eventually, it’s now I hiss and get up and he’s already on his way to the box to go pee in it. So again, he doesn’t really see it as something he wants to do, so I had to instill it as he HAS to do it. Or reap the consequence of being brought to the box. For poop, I found that naturally resolved itself as his pee compliance got better. I want to highlight that I don’t punish him or yell at him. I simply created a signal of “I’m now triggered to bring you to this box.”, so he makes he conscious decision whether or not to circumvent that by going there himself.

Bunnies are the most mysterious creatures. Maybe try experimenting with hay in different places or no hay in the litter box and see how she reacts.

Have you sat in there with her for long periods of time to intervene and put her in the box when she’s about to pee? She needs guidance it seems, like Wick did.

Also be sure to cycle out those pads. They’ll be a continual reminder that she pees there.

I remember someone on this forum having a lot of luck training with carefresh bedding (or something similar) because it is so soft and fluffy. Lots of buns like to pee on soft things… You might give that a shot as well?

Sorry it didn’t work out, but glad she will be in a home where they can care for her, and that you can give a home to a bun that will be a better fit for your home.

Hey in case anyone ever sees this thread, i wanted to share how it worked with my bun.  I put the carefresh, i think she likes the feel of it.  but i found she does not like if its filled all the way.  she only wanted one small corner of the litter pan with that bedding.  rest she either doesn’t want anything at all or wants hay. (luckily that also makes it really inexpensive as i go through barely any litter just putting in that one corner each day.)   i don’t know if this would ever help anyone.  maybe some buns wouldn’t like it if the whole litter pan has litter.  maybe even trying no litter at all?  i read cat litter is very dangerous for rabbits, i think the carefresh is safe for them even if they eat it.
