Getting Bun Outside / Training

[Bambi]

Ok so first of all, I do not want my bunny outside. I am extremely overprotective of my bunny and don’t get mad at her often. But, I think she has now pushed my limits and I’m sure others in the house want her out too. How do I get her to be comfortable outside? Recently she was staying at a friends house, and they put her outside. I told her not too, but whatever. When I came back she was terrified! Her eyes looked like they could pop out of her head. I don’t think she likes it out there very much. I have tried introducing her to the outside world but she is very scared of it and sometimes ends up shaking in fear. I have no idea on what to do, I don’t want to just shove her out there like my friend did. Please help?

Also, I have been trying to train my bun. (When I say no, she stops) It’s not working out very well. And is it possible to get her to stop doing things without catching her doing it? I don’t want to confuse her.

If she doesnt like it outside, do not put her outside. Rabbits die easily from stress. Why does everyone want to kick her out?

[Bambi]

They want to kick her out because she chews on everything and poops everywhere, she’s doing better with litter training, but it always smells really bad wherever she goes. (It still smells even after cleaning out her hutch or giving her a bath, I don’t know what to do about it.)

Is she spayed?

[Bambi]

No but we will be getting her spayed in probably less than a month.

Of the issues you listed, they will likely be fixed after she is spayed. Youll have to give her a month or few to correct those issues though, but its much eaiser to correct once they are spayed/neutered. The smell gets soooo much better after being spayed/neutered, too. The bad smell is caused their hormones

I completely agree with Mikey. Spaying helps greatly with both poor litter box-habits and smell.
