Why am I having to re-train?

[BunnyLady1989]

Hey everyone!

So I’m having an issue with Lulu. In December I decided to expand her pen area and moved it downstairs out of my room. She has free roam anyways but will close the pen when I’m gone or at bed time. It’s plenty big for her and she loved it. Well the only problem is that for some reason she seems to have forgotten her potty manners.  She has wet one the carpet right next to the litter box and now she barely poops in it.  I was thinking that maybe something health wise may have been wrong, but she has been doing it for along time and nothing else has changed. Plus she has been to the vet and she is fine. Eating, drinking, sleeping, playtime is all the same. And we all know once they wet somewhere they keep going back to it. I’m in the process of trying to clean the area with the diluted vinegar mixture and working on re training her to use the litter box again. In the meantime I had to make her space alittle smaller, to keep the wet area on the opposite side of the pen, and not let her out.

Does anyone have any ideas why she may have done this? What else can I do?

And yes, she is spayed. She will be four in July and was spayed at 7 months.

Thanks guys!

Sometimes when you expand the space they can forget. If vinegar doesn’t work, try putting the litter box directly on top of the spot so she will go in the litter box. Good Luck!.

Thanks for that! I will have see how the next few days go, and then go from there. Darn bunny butt.
