        My little Molly seems to have adopted a new habit, pooping all over the bed! I guess it could be worse and she could be peeing, but still it is an annoying little habit she has started. How can I stop her from doing this? I like to have my bunnies on my bed with me, as I enjoy the company and before my boyfriend comes to be I leave them out and about so they can join me on the bed for some good night snuggles until he put them away.
        Her sister and her are getting spayed beginning of April, will that help the situation?
        She doesn’t poop anywhere else besides her cage and the bed. It’s getting frustrating. Each time I catch her doing this behaviour I say “Molly, no.” and pick her up and put her in her litter, in an attempt to discourage her from this bed pooping action. Will doing this help at all? My first bun never had any problems when it came to litter training and accidents so this is new for me. Would anyone be able to offer me some useful advice in dealing with this bad habit?

        Thanks!

          Unfortunately rabbits do love to poop and pee on beds because they smell so much like their owners and the only thing you can do is to not allow them on the bed. Spaying – it may or may not help.

          It’s really not a matter of litter box habit training – it’s a matter of marking so I’m not entirely sure if putting her in the litter box and saying “Molly, no” would help but it’s worth a try.

            I have not found a way to stop it but, I do put incontinence pads on the bed when I am going to allow the rabbits up there. They are not expensive at medical supply stores and they save a lot of bed making and blanket washing. You do need to cover the entire bed but only one or two pads will actually get uses so you don’t have to toss them all every time.

            The alternative would be to put a rubber mattress cover on the bed, then remove the blankets so there is only sheets to wash when you have your rabbit(s) up there.
