Doe Eyes
Young Bun
Hi fellow bunny lovers
I seriously need some help and advice because I don't know what else to do. A couple of months ago my beloved bunny, Beany Woo, started to act differently in that she started peeing in the kitchen and also around her trays. I was initially convinced that the peeing around the tray (and under it) were for the purposes of marking her territory and peeing in the kitchen was because she wasn't getting her own way (ie not getting food when she is begging). This had been pretty consistent and then she started pooing everywhere as well, just pooing wherever she is so that I am constantly following her cleaning up. Recently it has become much worse and she is peeing and pooing everywhere so I have just been confining her to one room as I can no longer cope.
I have had her to the vets to check her over, the vet examined her and said she appears to be in very good health. She has had precautionery antibiotics in case of infection and panacur in case of EC but none of these had made the slightest difference.
Has anyone else experienced any similar problems as I do not know what to do. The only thing I can think of is that she is being territorial - we have a lizard also which shares a room with her in a vivarium and when he has been out it gets worse. I have tried disciplining her shouting no and clapping hands when I see her do it and chase her to her tray, putting soiled tissue in tray - but to be honest she couldn't care less.
I am so frustrated as prior to this I spent about 6 months scubbing carpets and cleaning her because of sticky poo problems. I finally got her dietry balance right which cured it and then she starts with this. I suffer from fibromyalgia and I am constantly fatigued and in pain and I can't take much more. I love her to pieces, she is my little baby and I so much want to make it right.
I would be most grateful for any advice
