          Hmm. I know that rabbits will spray to mark their territory, but she isn’t old enough to be sexually mature yet. Are you training her to use a litterbox? I’m not sure if this could be because of fear? Once when I first got my bun I was in the kitchen and dropped a pan, and she ran into the corner and peed. Are you picking her up and putting her on you? If so, you may be frightening her because they don’t like to be picked up.

            Bombur was already humping and spraying at 7.5 weeks, so it is possible. She also can really be litter trained yet. Not properly anyways until after her spay. Asriel would wait till we let him out, then he would constantly pee on the same spot on the carpet. They’re also Holland Lops

                Could be several things. Could be due to fear, could be if you have her on your lap and she needs to go, could be that she’s very relaxed and doesn’t want to move to litter box etc. My boy bun peed on me once and I’ve still no idea why, he was a little older than your doe though.

                  She can be litter trained. My bun only had 1 accident outside of her litter box before she was spayed. 1 true accident, 1 spray on the couch and 1 spray on the bed. She was very very good with her litter box since she was brought home. So it is possible, while it may not be likely.

                  I have heard that smaller breeds can reach sexual maturity quicker, but 8 weeks would be very early.

                    I agree, in regards to peeing – my two practically trained themselves. I can count on one hand the accidents they had – one time was because Buttercup got startled by my boyfriend, another time because I bought them a super soft bed that was irresistible  and another because I moved their litter trays. Oh and Peanut peed on me once   Other than those incidents, they’ve done every pee in their litter boxes

                            Something else might be scaring her….Plus she’s only a baby, she’s bound to have accidents.

                              Babies go where ever they find a comfortable place to pee. It also could be that she really likes you and is marking you as hers.

                              My Bombur used to pee on me all the time when he was little. He would demand cuddles from me then spray me while I was petting him
