  I have two bunnies and I recently moved (about maybe 2 weeks ago) into my new house. The one bunny who this is about, Alexa (fixed female Netherland dwarf, about 4), got a stress-related cold so I’ve had to give her an antibiotic and such.
  
  Before the antibiotic, she was peeing outside her litterbox just randomly on the carpets and such, but only during the night when I was asleep. She’s been much better now that she’s cured.
  
  However, she still pees at night. For the past few days, she has been peeing near a corner of my room; just once and only at night so I find it when I wake up. I have moved her litterbox over into the corner, but she just pees around it/ in the corner of where it outside.
  
  She still goes in her litterbox; I’ve seen her jump in it to use it. However, that one time at night… it really baffles me.
  
  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hi! I’m no expert but it may be the change in environment so she’s finding a new safe corner, my bun found a corner in my house when I moved as well. She also started peeing near the litter box instead of in it. I ended up getting a whelping mat on amazon that’s typically used for nursing dogs, it’s machine washable and eventually she stopped going in that corner. I know it’s not a permanent fix. Otherwise my only suggestion would be to make sure her litter is clean more often than not! My bun is about the same age, 5 years old fixed female Dutch.
