Hi :wave:
I currently have a 5yr spayed rescue female lionhead who has free range of my bedroom, now she is a sweetie and she can have her grumpy days and loving days, but 1 problem is I don't like her going on my bed, she jumps up and she knows she isn't allowed as when I go to approach her she looks guilty and basically goes for me, she grows, pounces, and does nip (doesn't break the skin luckily) and I used to be able to pick her up and pop her down and she would lay on the floor looking like she was sulking.. lol now its got to the stage where she goes for me and I have to use a pillow to push her off the bed (so she jumps down) as well as attacking the pillow..
I do plan on getting her a boyfriend one day, but I am in the middle of building a new enclosure for my ferrets which is abit hectic (aswell as working) she has loooooaaadddsss of toys and can explore under the whole bed, aswell as explore my built in *small* wardrobe..
I cannot think of a solution to stop her jumping on my bed, Ive had to put a old blanket on it now as a couple of occasions shes had poo stuck to her fur and made my bed dirty of poo, and I dont want to sleep with poo on my bed, so have to change the sheets..
Ideally some kind of guard I could put up when Im sleeping, or during the day when Im at work..
Ive even tried shutting her in her cage at night, but she hates it and gnaws at the bars, and that annoys and distresses me out knowing she wants to come out. When Im sleeping and she jumps up she runs all round my face, nudges me (which I thought was really cute a couple of nights, as she used to sleep at the foot of the bed like a cat) then I would wake up in the morning to find a wee stain and smudged poo on my cover.. So gross, so THIS had to stop! now, she is a very clean bunny, and always runs back to her cage for toileting.. but it sounds like shes trying to claim my bed as hers, when its MINE! lol! that was the first wee accident she had done, and she CAN get down off my bed.
Ive tried calling her name so she jumps down herself and i treat her, she soon got bored of that idea and was bouncing around looking like a "la la la, im on ya bed and this is fun" hahaha.. Ive tried a soft approach and stroked her then picked her up, but nope!
Help me.
I understand females can be grumpy, Im used to her grumpyness, thats what makes her her :lol: and she can be as soppy as anything some days, its like jeckle and hyde once she goes on my bed.
Is there a way of rabbit punishment? ive tried saying no! but i don't want to be harsh on her as they are prey animals.
