Lolli’s a lazy pooper

[Michelle&Lolli]

No, no poopy butt thank goodness.  I have proof that she is a lazy pooper.  I picked her up today and saw that she had pooped all underneath her box and blanket.  Where she lays.  Like RIGHT where she lays.  So she doesn’t get up and go to the litterbox to poop. 

She does poop in the litterbox.  So she does know that she’s supposed to go there.  I keep picking up her poops and putting them in there too.  Is there anything else I can do?

Get her moving around more, she needs more exercise. I do know that chubbier buns are more lazy, but get more active once they lose the weight. Kind of like humans I guess She needs to get her rear hopping

Dustor poops on his blanket on the roof of his hidey hut. There’s always a pile of them in there, more or less, although there’s a much bigger pile of them in his litterbox. I guess he is just comfortable and lazy and doesn’t bother to interrupt his lounging to go to his litterbox. It doesn’t bother me much as they dry quickly and are like peas…I just shake his blanket over the garbage can and replace it. Ot toss the poops into his litterbox though I often miss. Now if bunny poop was like human excrement, it would be another story!… lol Thank goodness it isn’t!

I’m getting the feeling that you should brace yourself if you do choose to bring a new bunny home. I would not be surprised to hear Ms Lollipop would ramp up territorial pooping.
Jersey feels the need to leave 1 or 2 on the rug in their hidey box. Sort of to mark it as theirs I guess. Does Lolli only do this on Her things or in other parts of the house?

[Michelle&Lolli]

She poops wherever she lays. So there’s some poop under her chair. There’s some under the coffee table. She got blocked from the bedroom cause there was a huge pile in there right next to where she lays. And she’s not leaving the 2-3 territory poops. It’s like 10 or more. It irked me yesterday cause the night before I had picked up all the poop in her pen area and put them all in her litter box. lol

I haven’t been good about getting her trained to go in the litterbox for poop. She does go when she’s in there, but obviously it’s not all the time. Do you all think if I work on making sure every little poop is picked up and put in the litter box, that she’ll learn that’s the only place she’s supposed to go? I will be picking all her poop up anyways, but don’t know if just doing that would teach her or if I need to do more stuff.

Jerseygirl – When I got Lolli, I had my friend’s rabbit here too. Lolli was a baby, so she didn’t get to hop around and explore cause I didn’t want to lose her under the couch or something. lol But Eddie and my friend’s rabbit got separate free times. And it was literally like a poop bomb went off every time either one was free. So when I get a new bunny, I fully expected poop bombs galore around here.

Felony does this too. I swear he poops in his sleep. Sometimes to tick him off, I vacuum up the poops in his nap spot and then spray the bejesus out of the carpet there with fruit scented fabric refresher. It pleases me to see him walking around the perimeter of the sprayed area sniffing…..

[jerseygirl]

Lol! ^ Funny how we can go head to head with them sometimes.

Jersey is…..well, I can’t really explain her poop habits but Rumball will occasionally have a few poops out on the carpet where he’s been napping. When he discovers them he cleans them up. Jersey however…..yeah. *sigh*

I think they can accidently drop out a few when sleeping. And some come when they;re eating their cecals. But when it’s 10+ that’s looking more like a litter training thing.

Nibbler loves to leave poops where he sleeps. Sometimes I even catch him sleeping in his litter box! 

Haha I can identify with you hooty! We only have one carpeted room in the whole house and Nibbler seems to think it belongs to him. He is litter trained but LOVES to mark this territory. So whenever I vacuum up the poop he comes into the room and sniffs aruond and thumps at me, then he eats hay and goes to poop again. We are in a poopy cold war! Haha.

Mimzy has started just pooping where he sits or lies down, but I’m not sure if it’s due to laziness. More likely territorial pooping or arthritis coming on. It doesn’t matter that I keep his area clean enough to eat off of, he still does it. It’s frustrating, to be sure.

Lash, you are lucky that your bun does not eat his blanket. I wish I could get Mimz to leave cloth items alone, but he sleeps only on hard plastic and will tear up anything I try to put over it for comfort.

It’s also good that bunny peas aren’t like cat poops either. I have one old cat getting a bit wonky with her litterbox habits and then once in awhile I catch her scooting on the floor next to it…it’s driving me crazy.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time Pip foot flicked coming out of her litterbox and a bb almost went in my morning coffee? ~_~ lolz…
