Young Bun
Hi everyone,
I'm a woman on the edge with my buns at the moment! Please give advice someone :-/
I have four house bunnies who will soon be in a room together and will hopefully not freak out as they are in two separate pairs (but we have a dog and I want to keep them safe). But moving them in next to each other is a challenge for a few weeks :-/
My problem now is this:
When I only had Arthur, he was fantastic at using his litter tray and only a few pellets came out if accidentally kicked, along with sawdust (he has a covered cat litter tray). When I got him a gf they started pooing on the floor!!! Everywhere!! I thought this might settle down after the territory marking stopped but no such luck :-( Anyway, I then rescued two more buns from someone who left them with a respiratory infection and refused to take them to the vet - so I persuaded them to hand them over and a lot of vet visits/money/antibiotics later they are healthy happy buns
They also started out well using litter trays (were kept outside now live inside) but they seem to have gone BACKWARDS too! First they started pooing everywhere and now they wee on the carpet!!! They are currently in a spare bedroom to keep well away from our dog and they have ruined the carpet in there :-/ I have cleaned it four times with diluted white vinegar but they just do it again!! I clean their litter tray every two days - it's filled with sawdust and mass amounts of hay - what am I doing wrong?!? Please help!! Sorry for the essay
Xx
