Rabbit suddenly weeing

[Howard cordingley]

I have two indoor rabbits in separate cages and they are let out separately for exercise. But I noticed these last few days the male who is 10 has been urinating on the floor which is unusual as he normally uses his litter box. The doe is neutered 7 months ago but could it be she still gives off scent which causes the male to be doing this unusual habit. He seems to be well. I can’t let them out together because he never lets her have any peace wanting to mate with her.

10 months or 10 yrs, and has he been neutered?

He is 10 years I rescued him 2 year ago vet thinks he’s 10/11 he’s not neutered due to his age and risks.

Could be UTI or EC amongst other things. If he suddenly started doing this it's worth a check-up.

Sorry. Urinary tract infection. E. cuniculi. (which is a parasite, many bunnies, over 50%, have it in their system and only show symptoms when their immune system is weakened due to ageing, stress. other illness,... There are many possible symptoms, incontinence is one of them.)
