I have a little agouti buns called Crunchy, who likes to poo EVERYWHERE. When I adopted little Crunch, he came with additional care; when he was a baby his mother and rest of his litter died from a disease caused by dirty living arrangements. So without a mother, crunchy was hand raised and well… he doesn’t know how to rabbit.
Now, Crunch knows how to use a litterbox. He’s in there most of the time chowing down on his hay. Even though he uses this litterbox all the time, he still leaves little landmines ALL over the house, multiple times a day.
Here’s the run down of my unsuccessful attempts at getting this guy 100% litter trained:
When we brought him home, he was in a small pen with the litterbox, food and water. Not much room for error (but there was).
I changed their eating arrangements so he HAS to be in the litterbox to eat (still poos everywhere).
I pick up his poo and spray with a neutral spray to remove the scent and show him that’s not his litter box.
I give him pats and treats when he DOES use the litter box.
I feel like I’ve tried everything. He has a great role model, Queen Latifa the Original Buns, but he just frees his bowels wherever he pleases. No Pees, just Poos.
He is neutered, and that was done at a very young age before he reached full maturity (before we adopted him).
Can anyone help!? I feel like I am going out of my mind here, with this little free-pooping antichrist rabbit!
Many thanks xx
