Rabbit always pees/poos on my bed?

[MaddieRabbits]

So I’ve been having an issue recently with both my rabbits peeing and pooing all over my bed when I let them out to play. Any rabbit I’ve ever owned seems to do this and according to my research it is because they can smell your scent so they then mark their territory. Is there any way I can prevent or stop this? I see a lot of people that let their rabbits on furniture etc, do they not pee and poo all over it? Thanks.

It’s more than likely your new girl is hormonal, and leaving territorial poos and marking with urine, which is causing your boy to do the same. Until they’re bonded, you’re going to be sweeping up poos every day. The peeing should get better once she’s spayed. You can try to have something with their scents on it on the bed so they don’t pee on it. They’re basically in a territory war. So stick a blanket in each of their enclosures, and when they come out lay each blanket on the bed. So obviously your girl’s blanket when she’s out and your boy’s blanket when he’s out. That should help with the pee. But the poops you’ll have to endure.
