  Is it normal for a rabbit to pee a few times relatively close together, rather than emptying his bladder all at once? Jack has never been completely consistent with his litter use, but recently he was peeing on the floor–then he would pee again once or twice while we were trying to clean up the first mess. We switched his litter box position and have been giving him treats for using it, and overall he’s doing better with getting in there voluntarily, but I’ve noticed that he will sometimes hop in to pee 2-3 times within a few minutes. I don’t think it’s really an overall increase in frequency of urination, just that it seems like he’s not emptying all at once. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with something like this?

  Can’t say I’ve ever seen either of mine do so ?
  
  Perhaps others can shed some light on the situation.

  I don’t know if it’s normal, but I think it is. If a bunny pees repeatedly when you clean up his mess, I’d say that’s a territorial thing. My buns go in their boxes fairly often. I don’t know if it’s like with dogs, the dogs I’ve had have almost always pees/d several times during a walk, minutes between. When I put my Bam’s box on the floor to empty and refill, my other bunny jumps into it and immediately pees if he gets the chance (my buns are both neutered boys, but have no love for each other). Maybe they’re always saving a little bit of pee if they should need to mark sth?
  
  Things to worry about regarding pee are straining to pee as in peeing very frequently with very, very little urine coming out, pee leakage resulting in pee on the inner legs so the bunny is always wet, madly excessive drinking that results in floods of pee, pee with flecks of blood in it (NOT red pee, red pee is perfectly normal in bunnies). Not that your bunny is showing any of those symptoms.
  
  A bunny that gets lots of fresh vegs pees more frequently according to my observations.

  Have to agree with Bam. My boys have always got a little store of pee ready to go, especially if I’m cleaning up. They’re so eager to pee anywhere that doesn’t smell like their urine that I’ve had a close call today with my hand whilst I was trying to clean a litter tray!
