ive had him over 2 years, he is about 3 years in age. when i got him he easily adapted himself to being 'potty trained'. he had his little corner basket where do to his belongings, and its been like that all those years. however in the past 3 months he's gotten the mood of peeing in different spots in his cage whenever i clean it, he ends up making a mess and leaving the bad odor, i try to scoop up the pebbles in the spot where he peed and dump it in the little corner basket and then he begins to kinda go to it and use, but in random moments he just does it outside.
what am i doing wrong that makes him do that?? he is out of his cage 24/7, he goes in and out as he pleases, he was neutered long time ago, and he eats like he always did.
what could be the reason he does this?? ive tried buying a new little basket, but no difference.. help! this is getting really frustrating!!

these ppl are funny ma bunny is the same age. train her to get to the corner and do her bussiness. everythings was fine when i clean her corner i used the cleaning stuff that i used to clean her corner with and clean all over so she sniffed the place that smilled like her littter and pees there. so if u use disinfect to clean her aarea and use it around the room too, that bunny will smell the disefect and pee so try to chang what u use to clean ur home with a change is too so it would be fresh it wont have no fimilar oder. thats how i got my bunny to stop peeing all over. plus i would pop her and say no until i figured out why she was doing this. if it don't work take her to the doc but it won't help nothign is wrong with that bunny if he eats good poops good and running around u are taking really cood care of it. BiG tip don't ever put a bunny and gunnie pig in the same room or cage they will get so sick and might even die (the bunnies) my child almost died so it was either them or her so i gave them away and shes probably healtier thatn me taks good care of those bunnies they are annoying but loveable
He may have some medically issues and this is why he is acting up. I suggest you call the vet, if that doesn't help you can post this question to the Yahoo group EtherBun and they may be able to help.
Yes, please do yourself a favor and get Bugs to the vet. You've invested 3 years in the little cutie, you owe him a visit to the vet. Worse comes to worse, he can be euthanized and he will not know the difference except that he may be put out of pain. Rabbits are not long lived as pets so you must have been doing right by him all these years. Hugs to you and Bugs.
Not a happy thumper. Have him checked
You said in the first paragraph, that he pees in different spots when you clean his cage.is this the only time that he's doing this, or is it every once in a while as well? If it's just after you clean out his cage, he's probably trying to remark his territory. Do you have any other pets that could be getting into his cage somewhere during the day or night? I would say that a trip to the vet would not be a bad idea. Sometimes this can be a sign of illness (usually nothing serious.I have one rabbit that is very prone to urinary tract infections and I can always tell when one is brewing because he'll do this exact same thing!) It could also be that he's just forgetting his training.rabbits can do this if they get really scared while in their box for whatever reason. If the trip to the vet doesn't uncover any physical reasons, I would just start over with the training. You've already gotten a new litterbox which is step one. Just go from there until he's back to using it every time. I hope this helps! If I can be of any further help, don't hesitate to e-mail me privately at: kbviolin_98@yahoo.com.
