Pooing in his box - help

Cornishlass

Smudge livs in a playhouse but as it is soooo cold I've had a box made forhim (LIke a hutch with no front) that I stuff with straw and include a snugglesafe underneath :love: - but every day he flls the top laying of hay with poo! His litter tray is opposite the box - why won't he get out and use it rather than poo in his bed?!!!
 
I've found my bunnies will poo wherever there is hay. Now I only keep hay in their litter trays, and they are magically litter perfect! :lol:

If you want to avoid having him poo in there, maybe put a separate hay box within the little box. Or maybe put a blanket over the snugglesafe instead of hay so he'll go to his litter box for hay instead.

I'm sure other forum members will have some better solutions too. :wave:
 
bunny thinks - "this is my box. it's great. you can't have it. see, i've put my poo on it."

i'd take it as a sign of success. you've provided something smudge loves!

i'm always really flattered when my rabbits poo on the doormat near the backdoor - clearly, this is home and no other bun should think of coming in. they're so territorial that if they're free-ranging i put a tray there or take the consequences. :)

should i take it as a compliment that there is poo all over my sofas then ? :lol::roll:
 
Thanks - he has become a little terratorial over it. He grunts at me if he is in it and I go to stroke him- he then lets me but has to tell me first It's his. :lol: Soooo cute - but I only wanted him to be warm - oh well, I'll sort it out in the summer - rather keep him in poo but warm than not. :lol:
