WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR RABBITS PEE ON BEDS AND COUCHES

 WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR RABBITS PEE                      ON BEDS AND COUCHES AND WHY DO THEY DO THAT


  • Rabbits will mark areas where you often sit to tell you, “I am the dominant one in this relationship. Your space is mine now.”
  • The appropriate responses to this unwelcome behavior are to either completely ban your rabbit from the area or to train them to not pee on that place 

    1. Make sure your rabbit is spayed or neutered. This will help calm your rabbit’s hormones and reduce the urge to mark territory
    2. Avoid giving your bunny food, especially treats in on your bed or couch. It can be fun when they are mugging you for snacks however the more they fell they need to compete for food in an area the more likely it is they will want to mark this territory as their own so its important not to encourage this.Bunnies also tend to like to go to the toilet where they eat so you want to avoid any association between feeding and pooping and peeing
    3. If your bunny is very comfortable on your bed or couch, they may decide that rather than going to their litter tray they will simply go to the toilet where they are. Some of the signs that your bunny is getting ready to go to the toilet is they will raise their tail, sniffs the place  they may start to try and get to a corner position backing themselves into the corner. However, this may not always be the case and they will simply pee where they are sitting.
    4. If they do jump up on the bed or couch with you on it don't let them get in between you or someone else. Also avoid letting them jump about on you or on the back of the couch as this dominating behavior is likely to be a part of them trying to compete with you which could lead to them trying to mark a spot you are in. Instead encourage them

                                LITTER TRAINING The most common problem among house rabbits is how to litter train them .People usually think it's hard to litter train them because rabbits are dumb but it's not true rabbits are very intelligent and learn easily. Just be patient and they will understand :) THINGS YOU NEED TO LITTER TRAIN RABBITS : LITTER BOX : Use cat litter box for this make sure you buy something that has more depth in box so there won't be any accidents near the litter box.Something like this LITTER/BEDDING : Place a newspaper at bottom to absorb urine and if you want to use bedding on top of newspaper and put lots of hay on top that paper FOR EXTRA BEDDING : You can use wood stove pallets( I prefer wood stove pallets ) or  beddings made for cats, but choose the unscented version. This litter will neutralize any unpleasant urine odors. Do not use clay-based or clumping...

     RABBIT DIET - ADULT (VEGGIES, PELLETS, HAY & TREATS) ADULT BUNNIE DIET: 1-5 years HAY: Adult rabbits need unlimited hay (grass) because 80% of their diet depends on the hay and adult rabbits usually eat meadow hay & Timothy hay . In Hindi Timothy hay is called Durva grassland in Telugu it is Garika .You can buy hay from online or from farm HOW TO MAKE HAY AT HOME : If buying hay is not an option for you then Just get some grass from outside like Durva grass which is easily available and spread that grass on a paper and place it under sun for a day or you can give that directly to your adult bunnies  I recommend buying them from local vendor or growing it yourself because when you buy online they usually charge more than what we get and we end up giving less hay for our rabbits.
