Hello!
Our bunnies seem to have taken to using their whole house (they have one each at the moment - Sherlock has been castrated and Mrs Hudson is to be spayed in 2 weeks) as a litter tray. They spend much of their time out of their houses with us so, in essence, they really do only use their houses to eat, drink and sleep.
No doubt we are responsible for this because the whole house is covered in woodshavings with straw and hay so the bunnies are, uh, doing their thing all over it - except where they sleep. Neither of them do anything there. Bless 'em. It isn't a massive problem, but it does make cleaning it up a bit more of a job than it needs to be.
Both bunnies are perfectly litter trained and have had only one accident since they've been with us. I don't want to do /anything/ that disrupts this. But do you have any suggestions to help out with teaching them to keep their business in a specific area of their cages? When we clean them out, it is quite clear they are using a couple of specific spots more than others - but it isn't localised enough to suggest they're using any particularly area *exclusively*, but definitely a couple of spots more than others.
Would putting the flooring cover (shavings/straw/hay) in just two places help; namely their sleeping space and where they should go to the loo?
Does any of this make sense?!
