Hello everyone!!
so i joined this forum as ive recently acquired a 4 month old little lop girly! She is amazing im totally in love with her but i think ive done few things wrong and am now paying the consequences, i hold my hands up and say I thought I had done enough research and clearly I hadnt! Fifi came to me 2 weeks ago rather unwell (snuffles) she has been seeing the vet and is 99% recovered she has another appointment Wednesday!
The issues.........
We decided to keep her indoors she has a massive cage with a shed load of toys, although i still feel guilty she doesn't have a friend so am considering getting her a neutered male buddy but again no idea where to look would like to rehome one! Next issue house training! she loves hopping round our living room (haven't given her more space yet due to some issue) she also has a run in the garden she goes in when the weather is nice! we spend lots of time with her an she has settled in really well however she has become intent on pooing on one to the sofas! we put a throw on it so it was easier to clean up she did pee on it last night so its currently in washing machine! question one...... do you think she thinks the blanket is her litter? if i move the blanket do you think she will still poo on it, or is it the sofa? I saw that maybe we had given her to much freedom so we are currently trying to let her out for short periods but she is getting a little cross with this idea! she does poo in one corner in her cage! finally she isnt spayed yet which i am told may help!
Any advice would be amazing thank you in advice!
