So my little man is a year and 3 months old and he’s been litter trained since about 6 months. He’s usually pretty good, he poops around the cage but not excessive and he’s always had phases every few months of peeing outside the litterbox, but he’s usually pretty good. During these little phases he’ll pee outside the box for a day or two and then he’s back to normal. But lately he’s constantly peeing outside the box, especially near the water dish. He had GI Stasis a couple weeks ago which is when this started so I thought it was connected to that but he’s been fine for a while now and he’s still peeing outside the box multiple times a day, and a lot. He was on cisapride and meloxicam and the vet also put him on enrofloxacin in case there was a urinary problem since he was peeing outside the box (he’s had stasis 3 other times and the peeing thing never happened at the same time before) just to be safe, although she doubted there was an issue. But he’s been better for over a week now and he won’t go back to peeing in the box. The pee is usually clear too which is a bit unusual for him. I know bunny pee can range in color including clear but Benny’s is usually more orange and clear is rare. I’m so confused what’s going on. I’m assuming if it was a UTI or something that would have been taken care of after the course of meds. It’s so annoying because then he walks in the pee so it gets everywhere and he’s all dirty. I’m cleaning the cage several times a day. Is it possible he just like “forgot” to use the litterbox? He uses it sometimes so I’m not sure if it’s that. I thought maybe after being bonded with Bailey and becoming the submissive bunny he feels that she owns the box and he can’t use it, I don’t know if that kind of thing happens but they’ve been bonded a while now so I kind of doubt that. Any suggestions??
*Note: He also has been pulling hay onto the floor and peeing on that too. He’s always been messy with hay but he’s never peed on it and it seems excessive now. Not sure if that’s related.
