          I have questions –
          How much is a lot of pellets and hay?
          How much pee is coming out? Is it marking or a ‘get in the litter box and have a proper pee’ pee; Is it two times an hour every hour-or you observed him pee twice in an hour once?

            like a half of a little dish a day and just seems to always be eating hay lol.  and little puddles peed on the couch and pillows a couple times.  maybe i just observed it that many times in those hours.

              She’s young, which means she’s growing. She will likely want to eat what seems like a lot for a tiny little bun. Small little pees here and there could be her trying to mark stuff. This is especially true for soft surfaces, like couches and beds, that smell “horribly” of human.

                    Ok lux is peeing a lot on the couch and on our clothes. Is this normal? I’m getting kind of worried. It’s all yellow milky color so I know that is ok.

                      Yup! All normal-peeing is territorial and they often (usually, nearly always) pee on nice soft stuff-beds, couches, clothing etc. Restrict access (pickup the clothes, push her off the couch when she gets up, put stuff up there so she can’t get up (books, chairs whatever)-make it known it’s your territory and she doesn’t get to go up there.

                      I’m not sure how to reword that first sentence -peeing is also for normal purposes too! But they use it to mark territory

                        I agree. Some bunnies just can’t handle all that freedom, especially when they are young and unspayed. It might be better to restrict her access to things or keep her in a smaller area like a couple of exercise pens joined together.

                          It took mine months of being denied access to the bedroom and couches before he learned that he can’t do his business up there. Now I might find a stray poo every now and then, but it’s a far sight better than when he was actually using my pillow as his litter box.
