Young Bun
I've had my rabbit for 3 months now and she's really started bonding with me lately. She's
a smaller breed but I'm not sure if she's a dwarf bunny. She is about 60% of the size of the average cat
and I suspect she has stopped growing now.
On to the point... She got to a size where I didn't feel comfortable having her in the cage for more than 2 hours
since she's grown into it, so I started putting the cage in the bathroom during the night and left it open so she could run
around. She has had a litter box in the bathroom for a while and a litter-box in the corner of the cage... she pees and poos next
to the litter box in the bathroom frequently now which she didn't always do and when I put the cage in the living room she has started
using the litter-box in it FAR less... she's more likely to drop 10 droppings in my lap or on the couch or anywhere she likes. She's even peed
on the couch twice and does seem to prefer making her donations there now. The problem is more out of control now than
in the past. I also changed both litter-boxes a bit, experimenting with changing newspaper and hay to cat-litter and hay and lately often
just to cat-litter and giving her hay in a paper towel roll instead.
Would love any advice! How do I get her to go back to her old ways?
