I have rabbit that got sick and is using the litter box and urinating in the cage and then laying in it. Still uses her box but urinates all over the cage. I took her to the vet but all of her tests came back fine. What is going on?? Anyone else have this problem...
Answers:
The only time I've seen a rabbit pee indiscriminantly is when it's injured its back. If it seems to be getting around just fine, then reduce the size of its living space to minimum required living space for the breed or size (if he's got plenty of room)and put two or three litter boxes in the corners. Increase the living space gradually as your rabbit begins to consistently hit the mark.
If the problem is that it's not potty trained, then once it IS, give it a small cardboard or paper grocery bag to hang out in. He'll probably like it better than the litter box. They like things that they can make "clubhouses" out of - even a llitterbox if that's the only thing they have. Maybe even if it's not.
Hope that helps.
My rabbit acts like that when he is to hot!! Maybe it has a bladder infection?? but if the test came back normal then it could be heat!! Also to many treats or unclean water can to that to!!
its probably not pooty trained? lol. well, my bunnies are in a cage outside and when the dump theyre "waste" it all falls down under the cage. but, the also go in one carner and somehow the "waste" did not go down, and they made a pile if "waste".they lay on it and sit on it like its a pillow or something. they have never gotten sick and they love that pile. so i think its perfectly normal for your bunny to do that.
