I have had my new bunny, Zander, since the beginning of August and plan on making him a house rabbit instead of a 'cage rabbit in the house' like my last three. He is around 16w old.
He is wonderfully litterbox trained in the cage but once he is out of the cage he pees. I am letting him run supervised in a 12X8 bedroom. He only pees and poops on the side of the room furthest from his cage, near the door. Is this a territorial thing? or is he just a baby and the room is too big for him? Is this just an issue of too much space/too soon?
I was considering putting a box on the side of the room where he pees/poos - unfortunately he does it right in the door way.
Another question, how many litter boxes do people who allow full house access have. For example, I have 2 cat boxes but they are in the basement and they will all travel down there to do their duty. Would a rabbit need one in every room or will they go back to on in their cage. I want to know what to expect, I don't want to hold him to standards he can't achieve.
The good thing is my dog likes to follow him and eat the poops - guess she sees him as a walking treat dispenser.
