My Rabbit Goes In His Box Alot But Also Has Been Pooping And Peeing On My Bed. How Do I Stop It.

My new rabbit keeps pooping and peeing on my bed. What do I do?

I had a rabbit as a young child, but my mom took care of it, so I don't remember how to do any of this! I have four cats now, and I just got a mini holland lop a few days ago. He's a sweet, funny, playful little guy who intimidates my cats and has free reign of the house (not something I was originally going to give him because I was worried the cats would bully him, but he chases them around all day).

I woke up last night to find the bunny in bed with me! That was great. There were a few little poops in the morning but I thought it was no big deal, and cleaned my bed off. He's been hanging out and playing all day in the livingroom with me. An hour or two ago he retired to my room to sleep in his cage (a 3-level cage with sunning platform, hidey-hole, and litter box, and I leave the top off so he can come and go). I just went in to check on him and even though he's chilling in his cage, there is poop and fresh pee on my bed!

I want to keep him free range because he seems to enjoy himself and he and my cats get a lot of exercise, but he can't be peeing on my bed.

How should I litter train him? If I have to keep him in his cage, how long do I have to do this? Are there any tips to make him not just want to use his litter box when he's in the cage, but to make him want to RETURN to the litter box to pee when he's not in it? Please help, I'm so rusty with this!

How to stop my rabbit peeing on my bed?

I have had a rabbit for about 3 years now... She is super well behaved and she is potty trained. No joke, seriously you just have to start them off with putting a litter box in the bunnys cage then vaccuming up any poop or pee that isnt in the litter box and after a while they will get into a habit. My rabbit hops on my bed all the time and doesnt pee/poop on it or on my carpet in the hosue because we let her hop around the house during the day (mainly because shes potty trained and we don't believe bunnys should be locked up in a cage all the day with nothing to do) and we lock her in her cage at night. We have two stories in the house and she comes upstairs whenever she has to go potty. So just try these tips!!!! :)
P.S. a rabbit being on the bed is not a sign that they lvoe you but i bet she or he does!!! :)

Do rabbits poop alot?

My rabbit was kept outside ina hutch, but from time to time we brought her into the house to run around, or if it was a nice day and the doors were open, she would come in by herself. She did the occasional poo, but they are just like little pellets, you can just sweep them up.

House rabbits can be trained to use litter trays, just like a cat, but i don't have any experience of doing this, so can't help with that.

How do I stop my kitten from sleeping in my rabbit’s litter box?

Create a new box for the kitten~ about the same size and maybe use same or similar fill placed in a pillowcase for it. Some cats are attracted to the smells or textures of certain plant products and there may be something about the scent of rabbit’s fill that attracts the kitten. Also even when on clean kitty litter some kittens just like it and will lay in a freshly cleaned pan. I’ve had a few do as much but they outgrew it as they found more comfortable spots to hang out at.You can also place the rabbit pan in an inaccessible location such as another room and close the door. I had a pillow for one odd kitty and bought cat nip spray for that pillow and it soon became her best friend.I could move that pillow from room to room and the kitten would always find it and go on it and sleep.

How do I keep my bunny from peeing or pooping on people?

Look in your rabbits cage.. chances are there is one corner he really prefers going in. You can buy a litter box (even a small one made for a cat) and put it in that corner.. put some of the peed on bedding in it, along with some hay.. the rabbit will probably start peeing in that one corner. Rabbits are very clean creatures and want to keep their house clean. Don't worry if your bunny sits in the litter box a lot, they like to stay in that corner sometimes. Also, it is easier to train an older and spayed/neutered bunny than a young bunny.

Poops are not that big a deal.. they're small and dry and can easily be scooped up and thrown away.. your bunny is not as particular about where he poos versus where he pees. As for peeing, your bunny will probably give you some signs. My rabbit loves to sleep on me and be held, but if he needs to go pee, he will start scratching on my shirt and nudging my hands.. as soon as I put him in his cage, he goes to his litter box and pees. Before they pee, bunnies will pause and stay still, then lift their tail a little to go.. if your bunny starts doing this, put him in his litter box before he goes and say 'litterbox' loudly. Bunnies can learn words like no, litterbox, and their name.. bunnies are actually very smart. Its hard to train them when they are younger, but keep at it and he will be littertrained before you know it.

Think of it this way, chances are your bunny is still young.. babies will have accidents while they are being potty trained, same for a bunny.. just keep at it!

Help my rabbit is peeing outside her box?

I would suggest while her cage is open to rub some good old hand soap ( not the liquid but use the bar) on the area you dont want her to pee on, ( this also works on wood areas you dont want them to chew on, along with any cords) doing so stops them , you can also chalk this up as an accident ( rabbits mark their scent with scent glands under their chins..i've not heard of them peeing to mark scent, but its not an impossible thought) another thing to do its catch your bun doing in and in a stern tone ( not high pitched as their ears are sensitive) say no. pick the bun up and placer him/her back in the litter pan..hope this helps. good luck

Is there a way I could stop my kittens from pooping under my bed and use the litter box instead?

Since you say kittens, plural, it sounds like you must have several in your home, maybe a whole litter. If they’re very small, they may not have figured out the litterbox yet, especially if the momcat isn’t with them for whatever reason. You may just need some patience with them. Also, some people will pick their kitten(s) up right after they eat and put them into the box, to help reinforce the idea.I wouldn’t put a box under the bed, though, unless you plan to always have one there. I would first look at the boxes you have from a kitten perspective. You’ll need at least one box for each cat in your home. Cats need to feel safe while they “go,” and they want some privacy. In the wild, a cat would go in a hidden place then cover up their scat in case a larger animal is tracking them. So, in your home, they need a little privacy and a clean box. Please scoop them out often!Also, are the boxes low enough on the sides for a kitten to get into? Is the litter soft enough to feel good on a kitten’s tiny paws? And don’t put too much litter in when the kittens are still very small. I also don’t recommended heavily scented litter; if you think about it, a small kitten has that right in her face when she crawls in.I hope this helps. Good luck with the furkids!

What can I do to stop my rabbit from toileting on my bed?

“What can I do to stop my rabbit from toileting on my bed?”Put a litter box on the bed.Make it easy for your rabbit to hop on and off your bed, and keep a litter box close by in your room.Don't put your rabbit on the bed.Like you, when your rabbit has to go, it has to go. If it can't access a litter box, it's going to go where it is. You can't blame the rabbit for this. It's not your rabbit's fault if you've made a litter box inaccessible.Learn to “read” your rabbit so you can tell when it has to go to the bathroom. They tend to get a bit antsy or frantic if they have to go and can't get to the litter box.Oh, and when a rabbit is still intact, aka not spayed or neutered, no matter its age, get it spayed or neutered. Not only will it settle the rabbit down, it will prevent any reproductive system cancers from happening, and rabbits get reproductive system cancers in high numbers.

My bunny keeps pooping on my bed?

Being in a new home is probably changing his litter box habits. Also, rabbits cannot hold in droppings as well as pee-- accidents will happen here and there. Just try litter box training him again. Also, he may be too young to even be box trained in the first place.

Also, when he is 3-5 months old, his litter box habits will deteriorate because of hormones and puberty-- you will probably want to get him neutered. At this age he can also become destructive, spray things, aggressive, etc.

http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/litter.html Here is a helpful page on litter box training. I recommend looking around rabbit.org, it's extremely helpful and is a great source for care, feeding, diet, etc. info.

Don't let their litter box habits lessen the time he is out of the cage. Rabbits easily get lonely, sad, and bored.
