I didn’t realize it’d be that common that’s crazy!
That sounds great! I think I’ll try that out for now and see how it goes!
Thank you so so much!

The things bunny parents go through lol!
I’ve had success with this method, too. And a lot of times, they won’t do the bad behavior there anymore and treat it as a normal spot.

That’s so lucky! Okay, thank you so much I will definitely start trying this from today. Hopefully it works, thank you so much!

Awww omg that’s sucks! Good luck with your bun!
Yess I will try that from now on! I’ll just line his play pen along the wall so he doesn’t have access.
Yes, he’s just entered his teenage phase and it’s been pretty crazy! He’s like bouncing off the walls and he’s never been so stubborn, but I feel like he’s becoming very clingy too which I like.…[Read more]

My rabbit vet suggests putting some herbs in the carrier. Dandelion greens, parsley, basil, sage etc. Most rabbits wont eat in the carrier, but the scent of fresh greens is soothing.
She also says that if there’s an intial exam where you are in the exam room, bring a towel or blanket and let the bun explore the floor in the exam room while you…[Read more]

I’ve had success with the block-off-until-they-forget-method. My bun Bam suddenly decided that the couch was an excellent pee spot. I blocked off the couch (which meant I had to sit in a sort of cage to watch tv in the evenings). At first Bam was very cross and tried his utmost to force his way through, but eventually he gave up. About two weeks…[Read more]

Haha, yeah, I’m going through the “told he was neutered but he’s not” right now. I swear, he has the worst litter habits and will just go everywhere BUT his box lol.
I agree with LBJ, though, that fortunately, a lot of times a bun will forget they like doing something they shouldn’t if they aren’t allowed/have access to for awhile. So, hopefully…[Read more]

Haha! Well, you would be surprised how many bunnies we have seen here that were “neutered by their previous owner” and they actually weren’t. Even ask Brunosmama. 😉
I have found that if something is blocked off long enough, bunnies have the tendency to “forget” about them. That’s why putting something heavy on top of a dig spot works so well.

Don’t worry it’s not stupid, but yes he definitely is neutered!
He doesn’t pee infant of the things I’ve placed, he only pees once he finds a way behind them and goes next to the wall! I could try placing something to block that area off, but I feel like once I’d remove it he’d probably go back to going there. I can definitely try it thoughh if…[Read more]

Hi!
Yes they can!
That’s what my family was thinking of doing! We have fleece washable pee pads in his pen area so I might buy more of those to but in that area, but they won’t look as nice! But that’s okay its much better than stained carpets!
He goes down almost every day, so I don’t know exactly why he does it. I always bring his litterbox…[Read more]

For some reason, consistent petting during car rides always seemed to help. I don’t know why. If you have a carrier with a little door on the top, that seems to work best.

Stupid question – And you’re absolutely sure he was neutered? I only say this because some of this sounds like territorial marking. BUT even spayed/neutered bunnies can mark things. The behavior tends to be much milder though.
This may sound harsh, but your best bet is to restrict his space and go back to litter training basics. Yes, you could…[Read more]

Arthas is scheduled for his neuter next Wednesday(1/8)!
The shelter was able to get him scheduled in with their vet, so yay free neuter!
That being said, I’m still a little concerned about the car ride. My husband is coming along to hold his carrier and be moral support. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make car rides easier on…[Read more]

Ah, bunnies can be so stubborn!
Depending on how things are set up in your room, you could always put down a washable rug/towel or puppy pee pads. That might work if its just one particular spot along the wall. If he insists on peeing there, at least it will make clean up easier.
Does he pee in front of the objects you moved in front of the…[Read more]

He was neutered at about 2 1/2 months old, unfortunately he was neutered really early, we got him after he was neutered.
He is free roam on my whole top floor when me or my sister are with him. Basically me and my sister have an area between our bedrooms where his play pen is set-up, which he stays in at night and when i’m in school. And when…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
I have a neutered holland lop, he’s 6 months old.
His main area where all his stuff is, including his litterbox, is in the space outside my bedroom. He mostly pees in his box, but there’s this one wall in my room where he also likes to go. I think he probably goes along the wall as:
a) a bunny I petsat once peed there and we…[Read more]

Thank you!
We did one session today as well, they shared a big fresh apple twig!
Then the lady withdrew to her chambers and pretty much passed out under her favorite chair 😄
Julius looks great with the bunny sweater. Rugged yet stylish!
