Beau Belle
Mama Doe
I’m having troubles with my naughty littlest bun, Pepper.
Having gotten her as a companion for single male Teddy about a year ago, Teddy decided he didn’t want anything to do with the cheeky mare and shunned her (which is odd, because he loooves everybody else, humans and buns!). We were hoping that he would eventually come to his senses, we had her living as a single female without any particular stress about bonding them.
However, after having recently lost his bonded bun Bella, we were (and still are) very worried about Bertie. We decided to see how Bertie would get on with Pepper.
Thankfully they took to each other and they now live in Pepper’s room. She’s had no issues with him moving in and seems happy to have company.
Before Bertie moved in, Pepper occasionally punished me for various misdemeanours by peeing on the bed in the room (it was originally a guest room). Now that she has him around, she’s thankfully forgotten all about peeing on the bed - but pees on the floor instead...
From the beginning I saw it as her scenting the room in a way that’s pleasing to her and expected it would stop eventually - which it hasn’t. It’s very much deliberate, and whilst we tell her off and move her to a tray if we see her lifting her tail, I worry about what might happen when we’re out. They’re both vaccinated, but what if he gets E Cuniculi from her pee?
Mopping doesn’t bother her, and they have 3 trays between them so there are plenty of spaces to pee.
She does pee in the trays too, so she knows what they are for. And before Bertie moved in, there was no peeing on the floor.
What do I do?
