My previous post, but I just thought I'd do a new one to get everyone caught up on his badness.

He's been pooping on my bed still while I am laying in bed so I'd scold him and put him back in his cage. He was perfectly fine at using his box before. Ugh. I'm laying here right now and he just got on my bed and peed right next to me and left a pile of poop. It started when I brought Kara here but shes been here for two weeks now and she doesn't come out because shes still not too fond of handling. I don't know what to do with Oliver..

Should I just take Kara out of my room? :/

Well I wouldn't scold him. He is only doing what comes natural to him. He is marking his territory and what was his before the new bunny came along

I don't know this for sure but since you aren't bonding them, they might constantly see the need to mark their territory. Does Kara get free run? If not it's probably not fair to her to see him running around and she doesn't get to. That might also perpetuate olivers marking in the sense that he constantly views your room as his.

Since it's only been a week or 2 it might eventually get better. But then again if they aren't ever going to be bonded maybe it would be better for all of them for kara to be moved to another room....?

I tried to bond Daisy and Oliver but Daisy kept attacking him and I don't have time to do it. Kara does come out but she doesn't do anything but sit there. So i dont know if i should try to bond Oliver and Kara? And Oliver will have to go out of my room too if he doesnt stop so i dont know what to do other than scold him. If Kara goes in another room I wont be in there much cause i have rats in the room shed be in and their my dads and they smell and theres no heater in there. I dont know what to do. I hate letting Oliver out because if i leave for a minute he pees and poops. I love him to pieces and hes my baby. So if i have to ill put Kara somewhere else i guess. Kara is picky about whos near her as well but i dont think i can get her spayed...

Sorry if i sound angry or anything, not trying to. Just very tired had a long day.

Refresh my memory, is daisy fixed? You should only try and bond buns that are fixed. So no, I would not recommend bonding kara.
But you are right, bonding is very time consuming. I'm doing it right now it's not something that you try for a time or two and the give up.

That being said, I understand if you don't have the time. It is definetly a commitment! But, if you don't have bonded buns then you have to be prepared to have 3 seperate buns. And, if they live in the same room there will undoubtedly be some marking. It MAY end after awhile if they get used to each other, but it may not. Again, Oliver isn't doing anything "wrong" per se, he is just acting naturally to Kara being in his territory. It should be be expected bringing a new bun home. I'm dealing with it too, as a matter of fact. No peeing, but lots o poop

Lol no Daisy isn't fixed either. Oliver was fine with her and id be up to bonding if they were fixed and I wasn't in high school... If I have to I'll move Kara I'll just have to take the time to take her out and play with her.
