HELP bunny peeing ln my bed ;(

[Ellen]

I have a 6month old english lip mix named Winston! He is neutered and also litterbox trained, and overall a great bun except he like to pee on my bed. Before i got him neutered he peed on it once and never after did it again. He got on the bed regularly and was fine! Now he has been neutered for at least a month and he is starting to pee on my bed again. This is a big  problem for me because the only alternative is putting him in a cage which both of us hate. How do i get him to stop peeing in my bed?! Cleaning up pee at 1 AM isn’t the most desirable experience for me :/

Unfortunately bed-peeing is a really common problem with buns. Beds are soft and smell strongly of humans, so that triggers many bunnies to pee on them.

The most effective solution is to block access to your bed with an x-pen. You could try doing this temporarily at first to see if that helps him break the habit.

Another solution that a BB member had success with years ago was to put a plastic shower curtain under a thin blanket on top of all the other bedding. This had the double function of blocking the bed’s smell (so the bun was less likely to mark), and it made clean-up much easier if the bun did pee. It might be a little annoying to deal with if you are currently in the bed though!

I let my buns free-roam most of the day but I pen them at night, so hopefully you can figure out an arrangement that works for you.
