Hi there,

Have you noticed whether she is sitting outside the box and then peeing, or hopping in and just hanging her bum off the side? It could be that the box is too small (I guess for either option above).

Also, is she able access her hay if she is outside the box? I had one bunny (also a female) that would basically pee anywhere she could eat hay, so if she could get to the hay from outside the box, she would just sit outside the box to eat and pee. So using a hay rack that can only be reached from inside the box helped.

If you have any blankets down outside the box that might also confuse her a bit, as many bunnies will pee on soft things.

Are your buns bonded? If not they could be marking towards each other.

Lastly, females can take longer for hormones to drain after spaying, so that could be a part of it as well!

Based off your reply, my hunch is that it could still her hormones draining a bit, or the bum over the side thing. Females can have a post-spay craze, and it can take up to 6 weeks for the hormones to fully drain.

The bum over the side thing is funny because my female used to do this if I put too much bedding or hay in the box so that the side was low enough. She would just back up until she hit the side and pee. LOL

If they aren’t peeing on the blankets then they are prob OK to keep in.

Do they both try to use the litter box at the same time? Nothing is worse that 2 bunnies fighting to pee in the litter box at the same time. 🙄

have you been deodorizing the area she pees in? it helps remove the scent so she won’t be encouraged to pee there again.

Well… it’s more like a shoving match. It’s all fun and games until someone gets peed on.

@Liv you know it’s funny, vinegar IS what is usually used to deodorize.

But I had this situation where my girl would NOT stop peeing on this one area of the carpet. I kept cleaning it with vinegar, and she kept peeing on it. It was maddening because her box habits were pretty good otherwise. I then went and sniffed the area and it smelled SO strongly of vinegar, even once it was dry.

Then I used a carpet shampooer (the kind with actual suction), and cleaned the area with natures miracle enzyme shampoo and let it dry. No more peeing!

Not sure what type of flooring you are dealing with, but if it’s anything soft the vinegar might actually be triggering her to pee there if the smells are building up.

You could always throw a puppy pee pad down under the box for now to make clean up easier as well.

It wouldn’t be good for them to eat the pee pads, so use them with caution at first. I wouldn’t say poisonous exactly, but there’s a thickening polymer type material that could cause blockage if eaten.

You might just try a good water rinse of the area after the vinegar to remove and residual smell.

I just use paper bags from the store to absorb extra urine, because we already have them and I don’t want to purchase pee pads.

Oh yes I like the idea of paper bags too! I hate all the garbage produced by those pee pads, but they do come in really handy for certain situations.
