How to Prevent...

[Skybunny11]

Well, Twinkie my pet house bunny, lives in my room. He loves to run around but has just figured out how to jump on my bed Well, this is not good, #1 my dog would probably kill him if she was in my room and he jumped on my bed (she gets very jelous of him). There about the same size but she hates him (she thinks he's another dog). And all rabbits Ive ever had have enjoyed peeing and pooping on my bed :?He has already gone to the bathroom on it about 5 times today...How do I keep him from not jumping onto my bed? He doesn't use the bathroom anywhere else in my room, except for his cage. I put him off my bed when he goes onto it, but he is very persistant. Suggestions?

My suggestion would be to keep the rabbit either, out of your room completely or else cage him/her.

The dog sounds like a threat to your rabbit(s). This is not good. I suggest you try bonding them if you feel it is safe to do so.

Pooping and peeing is a territorial thing.. I'm not sure if that can be stoppeed

If your dog would kill your rabbit if he is on the bed, your dog would probably kill your rabbit if he's on the floor. I would definitely keep your dog away from your rabbit.

As for getting on the bed, can't help you with much but for now I would buy a cheap tarp at Home Depot for a couple bucks and just put it on the bed when he's out and about.

ETA: I meant tarp, not tart.

She would not literally kill him, true she hates him, again she hates almost all my pets, she is very jelous, and when Im not in the room my dog and Twinkie are never out together.

we use cardboard boxes to block things off. Cheap and easy to come by and makes a great barrier to keep jumpers off of things.
