Hi all
I've got two questions. Firstly, what is the best thing to get rabbit wee off a dark coloured fabric sofa - it doesn't have removable covers!
We've used water and washing up liquid so far. I daren't try vinegar.
Secondly, any ideas what is up with my bun and why he's started weeing everywhere? We've had our two boys for about two months. One is weeing in his box with no accidents. Beast is doing most of the time (and the was doing all of the time) up to a couple of days ago. He's now started weeing in a different place every time he comes out - and he is brazen about it. He hopped onto the sofa, sat right next to my boyfriend and then weed. He always been up on the sofa all the time and has never weed there before today. He's also weeing in random places around the room. No pattern, it's never the same place (and we clean with vinegar to neutralise the odour). He also sometimes deliberately wees near the door of his cage, just after we've shut the door. It's like he's trying to prove a point of some kind.
He isn't spraying - he's neutered. And he's been checked by the vet - it's not a bladder infection, as it's proper weeing not a dribble. Their tray is an under bed storage box, with paper cat litter and a hay rack - they love it and do use it. Nothing in their environment has changed. So I'd just like to understand why he's doing it!
If he wees more than once we confine them to their cage for at least 24 hours before letting them out again (I read somewhere that this can help them start using their tray properly). But I feel really mean on the other rabbit (on both in fact as we want them to be free roam eventually).
Any ideas welcome - particularly on getting wee off my sofa!
