Litter box forgetting?

[ScampersMom]

 I am getting ver frustrated with my boy bunny.  For a couple of months now he has been pooping more and more outside the litter boxes.  I don’t know how to get him to return to the “good boy” he used to be. 

A bit of history, I got Eddie about 4 months ago from a shelter.  He was only about 7 months old and his litterbox skills were wonderful.  At the time we had a 12 year old dog.  He and the dog would play togehter and even share a piece of kale together.  They were gettign close very quickly.  We didn’t know but our pup would not be with us much longer.  He had undiagnosed liver cancer.  About a month after Eddie came to live with us our dog died.  I swear Eddie was looking for him for a while.  After about a month we decided that Eddie needed to have a friend.  So, we decided to get another rabbit.  We did have him go on a date with the rabbit we liked.  It went very well.  They even groomed each other a bit.  Because of this, we decided to go ahead and bring her home.  Things were going well but then they got into a HUGE fight that ended with our girl in the ER vet.  Since then Eddie has been pooping more and more outside the litter box.  The rabbits are housed seperatly and we have tried to bring them together again.  Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.

It’s not forgetting – it’s marking – even when they are altered and you bring another rabbit (dog, cat, etc..) in the house, they will still mark their territory.

I reread my original post. I should have said that we have NOT put them together again. I promised Emma I wouldn’t let that ever happen to her again.
