My 18 week old (aprx) rabbit is litter trained and was doing really well, but now everytime i get her out she pees. So she hasn't really been getting any excersise now because I can't let her out of her cage. Help?

I had a female rabbit when I was younger.
If you can get her spayed, that would be a good idea.
The reason for this, which I never knew during the time I owned the rabbit, is due to the females going into heat alllll the time! My rabbit would back her rear up into a corner as far as possible, aim and pee outside of her cage--we even put boards up on the side she used, and it would still soak up and drip. And it was red. Stained the wall and ground. It was always such a MESS! And so much of it!! I was young and didn't know what was going on at the time lol.
Maybe she's happy to see you.
Check out the new book "The Bunny Whisperer" from the library.
take it to the if u think u should but ur rabbit is probably exited when u take it out so it pees
Your rabbit is learning that she likes having a clean house and if you don't keep it clean to her specifications, you willl get pee on the floor.
She will also learn to pee out the side of her cage too...fun stuff!
Clean her pee out of the litter box more often, maybe even multiple times a day. She doesn't like stepping into it.
are you sure that its EVERYTIME? its probably a reaction to seeing you or just being startled. don't worry about the litter training. as long as she knows that its available to use and has used it a couple of times in the past, im sure that she'll continue to. this might just be a phase. My one rabbit (rescued from a daycare i used to work at) is 5 years old and used to use a litter box...according the the teacher. now that i have him, he's going back to using it. don't be super worried about her, I'm sure that she's a healthy baby bunny. but if your really concerned, maybe you should call a small animal vet clinic and see what they think. Good luck!
she just had afew accidents if she is litter trainer put the litter out of the cage so she can go in the box and not on the floor.
Could it be the litter? If they have littered it previously, sometimes they won;t go again in the same litter. If it isn't that, Maybe if the litter box is in her cage, sometimes they won't go where they live, but ouside of it instead...bettyk
