We have two bunnies: one ND/HL cross (Little White) and another ND/local cross (Little Grey)
We have adopted White since he was 7-8 weeks and he has been a perfect bunny in terms of pee training department. However, when we adopted Grey when he was about 6-8 months old, and he never got 100% pee trained.
Two months ago, we had decided to put them together in a big cage, hence we brought them to a respectable vet to undergo neutering op. We bonded them slowly after their recovery from the neuter and they responded to each other well.
Since mid May, we have put them together in the same cage. They have never humped each other or fighted since then. White has still been perfect in the pee train department, he was 100% litter trained before and after the neuter, even after he got a new cagemate. However, Grey has never been pee trained until now. In normal days, Grey usually pees outside the pee tray (the pee tray is high and big, and Grey can hop in easily) 4-5 times per day, especially when he is excited (eg. expecting for food) or when the lights are off.
We have got Grey for approximately 4 months, since then we have been pee training him (use paper to soak pee and put in pee tray, clean stains with 50% vinegar etc). We have been reading a lot and we are fairly confident that our training method is fine (we welcome any good suggestions though). Grey has been neutered two months ago (his testicles were not descended, vet had to make a small incision near groin to take his testicles out. Could this affect his pee train?) One point to note is that Grey never lifted his tail while he is peeing, that makes it harder for us to spot the exact time when he does it.
Currently our patience is running out, after 2 months of pre-neuter + 2 months of post-neuter pee training, he is still peeing 4-5 times outside the pee tray per day. Is it possible that Grey might never get pee trained? Or do you have any special ways of pee training him to share with us? We really do not know how to deal with him anymore. Thank you!
