Got it, no more picking up to put in the litter box, only scooting. Yes, I do put him down of the bed or couch immediately. Update: He's doing a little better sometimes but he is still peeing and pooping outside the litter box a lot.

Gotcha. I realize now how "holding him in place" comes across. Let me explain and see what you think about it after. Finn is very different from most rabbits I've been around, including my female, Olive. He is crazy about pets and attention. He seems fearless and has never run from me, so...

Great tips on bonding him with my dog, I'd like to try that! Do you think it's maybe best to work on one bond at a time? And since he acts out his dominance with me so much, probably best to start with our bond..? I have been sort of "chasing/scooting" him back to his litter box when he poops...

The funny thing is that my dog was there first and my girl Olive came and laid next to her, got up, and came right back to the same spot! 😂 My boy bun does not have this same relationship though…

Omg, wow, thank you SO much! This is so different than anything I've heard or tried. This is the exact behavior I witness him do with my female. He's incredibly dominant and receives grooming from her frequently though he has never once groomed her back! Can't wait to start putting this into...

Yes, they have horrible litter box habits due to hormones before getting fixed. It's just that most improve immensely once they get fixed.

They are all able to roam freely together through the apartment when I'm home but they don't have too many interactions. Finn is not very interested in my dog and my dog doesn't interact with them much since she is large and knows she could easily hurt the them. My female bun is fond of my dog...

Sorry forgot to mention that. Yes they are both fixed and Finn has been fixed for many months so his hormones should have gone down about as much as they are going to. He marks by peeing as well. I was just cleaning and setting up the indoor pen and he came right over and peed next to it. I...

I need help figuring out how to prevent my boy from feeling the need to mark everywhere he roams. My pair of bonded buns have been together for about 6 months. My new boy Finn has a large personality and loves attention and handling, but he leaves behind droppings wherever he wants to mark as...

Try putting something else on the door for him to chew: cardboard, wood, twist a pine cone in-between the bars, weave popsicle sticks between the bars. Use twine or a zip tie to attach things.

Just use a large storage bin for their litter box. These are so tall all the hay stays in. If your bun is small and doesn't love hoping in and out, simply makeshift one or two stairs to the litter box using a hiddie hut or anything else that works. Even if they jump in from a level flush with...

I'm having the same problem not that I don't have carpet. I put a large rug down in their pen and it has helped some. I would say lots of rug coverage does help but it needs to be similar to carpet for the best effect: not so thin that the fur doesn't sit in it but not so thick that you can't...

For example, I put this rug in there as something small to test out instead of a towel: I think it’s safe to say he now knows to use the litter box and this is marking... I don’t expect perfection but how do I stop the peeing on/near new things?? I’ve started hanging rugs and blankets I’d...

How's the litter box training going for you now? Any better?

ohhh, ok gotcha! Thanks for explaining.

We have had quite a set back and I am at a loss yet again. The buns are shedding a ton, like bunnies do, and with nothing but laminate flooring their fur is going everywhere, sitting on every surface and floating in the air no matter how much I vacuum and clean. So, I am trying to get some sort...

I'm curious, how did getting rid of the alfalfa help? Im having similar issues.

Sorry for the delayed response but I did try all your suggestions and also now understand the idea of having 2 of everything. That's so funny about their stuffed animals, and so cute!! :)

Thanks! It's looking better. :) Right?! He's totally getting a hang! I cannot thank you enough. Just a month ago he was quite the disaster and although he still needs a lot of watching over, his living space is totally manageable now! Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking about how he isn't...

Well he hadn't peed outside his litter box for about a week or 2 before I put the bed in. I know that's not long but it also wasn't an accident. So if I wait is he always going to pee on new things? Like I mentioned he use to wake up from a nap and just gotta go, look around unsure of where to...
