How to stop my bunny sitting in poop

[HipandHop]

Hello everyone.

I have a dutch and an English bunny, both male, 4 years old and neutered. The were bought together and lived happily for a year, however we had to separate them as they fought. The now live in the conservatory with a perspex screen divide to keep them apart.

I have serious issues with the English, he insists on pooping in his bed and sitting on the poop in his litter box, he then get this built up on his under side and its so difficult to clean him up! His skin looks so sore.

Please can anyone suggest a solution to my dilemma?

Many thanks,
B

--you are wise to keep them apart as they will kill each other,(territorial),and using timothy/orchard grasses in the poop boxes should alleivate some problems--clean bedding to lay on ie.towel,cardboard,etc.--here is a link that should help http://www.medirabbit.com my best--sincerely james waller :USAflagwaving:
