  So, in November we adopted Luna at around 12 weeks old. Off the bat, she started using the litter box in her cage. After about a week, we started letting her go free range, which was probably my own fault. I should have done more research, but she is our first rabbit and I didn’t know any better. She never peed on the floor, she would always go in her cage, but there was always a ton of poop on the floor. She got big enough in December to start jumping up on the couch and getting on the bed. THAT is where she decided that she needed to pee. We’ve been trying to litter box train her on the floor since the first time she did it to no avail. We had to get a new bed for different reasons, and she is still peeing on it. She has had her check ups, and got spayed in January. I’ve tried the hay trick in her box. I’ve been putting pee soaked paper towels directly from the litter box in her cage into the one on the floor. I tried putting treats in the box. She poops in it, but wont pee in the box. I have no idea what to do, and I can’t keep sleeping in vinegar and peroxide every night. Any more advice, or tips would be amazing. Thank you in advance.

  Is there anyway to shut your bedroom door and not let her have access to the bedrooms?
  
  We have baby gates on the kids doors here and we just keep our bedroom door shut.

  Blocking off the bed is probably your best option for now. A girl can need up to like 6 months after a spay until she stops having the urge to pee and poop-mark. But many buns will keep using beds and sofas as litter-boxes because beds and sofas are soft and has lots of human scent on them.
  
  Mt bun Bam kept peeing on soft stuff like my dog’s vet beds and -mats for a very long time after he was neutered, but neutering him took care of the sofa -toiletting. Now he can have soft vet beds and blankies and mats and never pees on them. I don’t know why this is, but it is.

  We rent a toom, so all of our things are in one room, including our bed, couch, and bun
