Litterbox

[leoandcharlie]

My rabbits have been neutered but he is persistent on peeing around the room, I clean it up with white vinegar and a water solution then bicarbonate soda, his litter box is big enough, not near anywhere too hot or too cold he has plenty of fresh hay, I put toys in there to give him something to do but he still pees on the floor.

I've looked at your other thread as well regarding bonding. It sounds as though the peeing around the room is territorial and so I doubt it will improve very much until the bonding is sorted out.

How old are your bunnies? How long is it since they were neutered? Did you start the bonding off in a neutral territory, where neither bunny has been previously?

They are both around 8 months old and it's been 8 weeks since being neutered, they are still in the neutral space as they still are not bonded.

How large is the neutral space? I understood from what you said that the peeing was occuring around the room. It's completely normal that peeing will occur inside the neutral space until bonding is secure.

How long have they been together now?

You could decrease his area to help him get used to going in the same place. Has he ever been litter trained?

He is halfway litter trained, he uses the litter box most of the time but he pees on the floor at least 2 times a day.

They have only been allowed in the neutral space with no barrier for about a week, before that they were side by side with fencing between them.
