Hi, I have two free roam bunnies who have both been neutered and are fully litter trained, except for them CONSTANTLY peeing and pooping on my bed. I have tried blocking off my bed previously but it wasn’t very practical and they always figured out a way to get on it. I’d like them to have access to my bed anyway because they love flopping on it next to me but having to change my sheets daily is getting tiring and it’s getting to the point where I’m unable to enjoy spending time with them because I’m constantly worried about them peeing on the bed. I’ve tried putting things on the bed to deter them such as one of those noisy shower curtains and I’ve tried spraying perfume on the side against the wall where they tend to go but these things don’t seem to bother them in the slightest. Whenever I catch them in the act I say ‘NO, BAD BUNNY’ which I think they understand, and then I put them in their cage for a bit. The problem is they mostly seem to do it at night when I’m asleep so there’s now way for me to tell them off so I usually just soak up the worst of the pee with a tissue and put it in their litter box. None of these things seem to be helping though so I’d really appreciate any advice right now, or even just to hear from someone who’s had the same problem!

You will have to wash the mattress and everything , so it doesn't smell like urine , otherwise they will pee there again .
I don't really know what you are supposed to use to wash it , but i'm sure someone else on here might know .

My bun has not really peed on my bed , ever , so i'm not too sure.
 
They are peeing their because it’s a new place and there are loads of differeng smells in it. So there marking their territory. I’d wash your sheets with a light or natural odour detergent, nothing too strong if you are going to allow them to go onto your bed. Scrub the souled areas on the mattress with baking soda, vinegar and water. Make sure to clean the bed properly each time that they do urinate on it. Eventually, they will realise that your bed is not where they’re meant to go and should stop using your bed as a potty.
