  Hi guys!
  
  My little Bumbleberry thinks her litterbox is a bed and lyes on it a lot. Her cage is fairly small but it is attached to an excersise pen that she can be in most of the day. Her litterbox is small and it has a wired top on it that she sits on and the poop and pee can fall through. Lately she has been sitting on it and thinking its a bed
  Is this something I should worry about?
  Please give any tips you may have.
  Thanks!

  My bunny does that sometimes, not often, but he did it when he was poorly and could not do number 2s,maybe he knew he had to go but couldn’t, a bunny will sleep anywhere if they are comfy, its nothing serious, as long as bunny is OK otherwise.

  Oh I’m Pinky, my bunny is Olly he was called Olly long time before I got him, he has a cute name for a boy, I didn’t expect him to live when I got him so I used my nic name, so if anything happened it wouldn’t upset me too much.
  
  But here he is 3 years old!

  2 of my bunnies love sleeping int heir litter boxes. They sit, crouch, sleep, stretch out, fl, and groom eachother in their litter boxes. The other 2 don’t ever sleep in their box.

  I think it’s totally normal a least my bunny does it all the time. Even though he has a comfy bed really close by he doesn’t use it often. I usually find him sleeping in his litter box which I hate since he is laying directly on his urine and his feet gets all dirty but can’t do much about it. In the past I try to get him away I even try to push him off but he gets really angry when he doesn’t get his way so i just leave him be
