Its not like weeing out of the tray on the carpet in puddles, they literally spray it up walls, hutches, furniture, other bunnies, people etc :mrgreen: :lol: Its usually smelly and quite yellow, you can see the colour on light carpets/walls. Bailey used to kick his back feet up when he did it. Got me right in the face once when I was sitting on the floor :lol:

Not all rabbits go on to do it but the majority do. Females are known to spray to.

Its very anti-social and it stinks. They often direct it at people and each other.

I have to wash the walls in the bun room down regularly and as for the carpet...oh god :roll: ....its beyond help.

As everyone has said, if your rabbit sprays you certainly know about it.

Before Fudge was 'done', each time I put him down in his run I had to dash out of the way as he did it each time, probably to mark out his territory.
If I forgot about it and put Pippa in first she used to get covered, stood there dripping in it, with a look on her face which said 'not again.....'
