Hi,
I have searched to see if I could find any threads with similar problems, but could not find anything.
My two buns Peanut (female, spayed) and Bob (male, neutered) have just recently been bonded (within the last three months). I don't feel like they are actually bonded as I think they could live without each other just as easy as with each other. They do lie up together, and Peanut will groom Bob, but they also like their own space. Peanut will hang out in the run, whilst Bob will hang out in the attached garden shed (they both have access to both).
Anyway, the problem I am finding it the changes in their litter behaviour. Before being bonded (while Bob was healing) both bunnies were in the house in the evening times separately (Peanut one evening and Bob the next evening and rotated it like that).
Peanut was really well house trained, and Bob left the odd dropping here and there but I presumed that was because he was just recently neutered. Otherwise both buns had their own toilets and that's where they did their business. Recently though its like all their good habits have completely went out the window now that they are coming into the house together. Its like they totally ignore their toilets and its just poop EVERYWHERE. 90% of the time they do pee in their toilets but I am increasingly starting to find puddles around the place.
I had thought that they are still trying to mark their territory in the house but they will lie up together and Peanut will groom Bob. I am not sure what to do, I really want to keep bringing them in in the evenings as I don't want to just leave them in the shed all evening but its getting that I am constantly cleaning up after them as I don't want to have bunny poop lying about the place.
Any ideas....??
