Hello,
I have had Penny (1) and Milo(4 in December) since April. They are neutered and well bonded. Milo is the more dominant and Penny is pretty much food motivated and not interested in climbing.
Milo has made it on the desk, book shelf, my bed, the guinea pig cage, in the guinea pig cage, on my bedside table. Generally anywhere he isn't supposed to go. Now up to a point this is ok, I have done some re arranging to limit the amount of places he can climb/ jump. It was fairly pet proof for the guinea pig so wires are covered already. It is all a learning curve as they were meant to be outside and house rabbits along with guinea pigs and dogs is taking some coordination.
My big problem is that Milo wees on the bed. he doesn't always do it, only sometimes, normally with a change in routine - for example I am on holiday from work at the moment so he did it yesterday.
I could get the metal run in from the garden and block off the bed....but this is going to be a pain for using the room myself and not a good long term solution.
Their routine is as follows,
Morning - out in the bedroom for about 2 hours, nuggets and then in their cage (180 by 70) whilst I am at work - there is no way round this and hopefully it will only be for this winter as I will have them outside during the summer. If any one is in they can be let out in the bedroom but that is rare.
Home from work - let out and have the run of the upstairs. Friday and Saturday they are in the bedroom and not shut in, they do spend a lot of time in the cage - with the hay mainly but both will run like nutters from the bedroom to the bathroom and the spare room and I do find them flopped out all over the place.
I swear Milo knows he isn't supposed to be on the bed as if you go upstairs he jumps off the bed and he only pees when I am not there.....however I can't spend my life in my bedroom!!
I am going to put a litter tray on the bed but I suspect he goes underneath the duvet..........
Does anyone have any ideas how to stop him weeing on the bed? tucking a big waterproof blanket? (have tried incontinence pads but he digs at them......)
I am going to move the furniture round in an attempt to fit a run in............

tho I would rather they have more space.
So ideas welcome.
