New Bunny....Have questions.

[loppylove]

So i got my beautiful new black english angorathis weekend....she is beautiful. but i have some questions...to beginwith, she will pee in one spot then when i put the litterbox there shewill either go next to it or in another corner....with my other onewhere he went i put the litterbox there and he went in thelitterbox......can some bunnies not be trained??? how can i encourageher to go in litterbox??? one more thing....my male (justfixed a week ago) bunny will poop and leave a trail all around hercage...is that normal? why is he doing that? Thanks for all your help~

Try putting some urine soaked bedding or papertowels in the litterbox to give her the idea. This is prettynormal, especially as she is new and (I'm assuming) young.

Your male is marking his territory, and making sure the new bunny knowsit. This is normal too, especially since there hasn't beentime for his hormones to calm down yet. As a side note, makesure he can't get to your new bunny through the cage. He'llstill have living sperm for another 2 weeks or so and could get herpregnant.

So, when do we get pictures?

Naturestee gave you some good advice.Soak up where she peed with a paper towel. Put the dirty paper towel inher litter box and cover it with a little bit of litter. Then get someof her poops in there as well.

If her cage is big enough you can put a litter box in eachcorner. It is hard to litter train until after they are a bit older.She will probably get the hang of it only to hit puberty and her litterhabits may suffer.

Your male is marking his territory. He is letting her know thisis his turf. He'll most likely do this for a little while

Just a word of caution. Rabbits havebeen known to breed through the bars on their cages. Just make sure hecan't get to her that way either.

She is gorgeous and I can't wait to see more pictures. EnglishAngoras have always been a dream breed for me. Does she have a nameyet?

Congrats!!

JEEPERS... have been racking my brain to figureout how Gracie got pregnant... when the only time they had beentogether was 1 month prior to when she got pregnant. He usedto spend a lot of time at her cage! OMG that thought nevercrossed my mind! Moves Gracies cage up out of reach!!!!!

[irishmist]

Go to:

www.photobucket.com

Load your pictures there... pick the ones you want rightclick on the part that says url and copy... come back to your postclick on the icon that has the 3 little balls in it ... a small screenwill pop up paste what you copied there ( make sure you remve thesecond http:// or it will foul up. Your picture will show up on thepost as soon as you have done it.

Make sure that when you are adding more pictures that you move yourcurser down.. I usually double space it. You can also typebetween the pictures just watch where your curser is.
