        I have an amazing baby bunny named Benny. He is 10 months old and just got neutered early August. Since being neutered, he has only gone to the bathroom in the litter box. All of a sudden, today, I noticed he was pooping in one spot on my bed. I kicked him off of my bed, and figured he was upset with me because I haven’t been able to cuddle in a little over a week (he has a lot of time out of his cage, though). So, I laid on my couch to cuddle and he loved it. After a while he jumped off the couch, ran around like crazy, and then I noticed him back on my bed moving my comforter around with his front feet. I walked over to noticed he was pooping in be bed again! This was all within 2 hours. I picked him up and put him in his cage for the night. 

        Can anyone explain this behavior? Benny has literally been perfect since i’ve gotten him. He loves to be pet, he comes when I ask him to, he’s super happy, never territorial, never bites, loves cuddles, and he’s very spoiled. He’s a big snoop though and tries to find trouble, but it’s never anything serious. What is my baby Benny up to this time?!?

          Even neutered buns can poop-mark sometimes. My Bam had a relapse of pee- and poop-marking more than a year after he’d been neutered, so I had to block off the couch just as I had to do before he was neutered. After a couple of weeks I unblocked the couch again and we’ve had no incidents since, it’s been 2 years now.

          But he does poop-mark on the floor next to the gate that separates him from my other bunny, so even a neutered bunny can poop-mark if he feels there is a need. In Bam’s case I think he does it to deter my other rabbit, they are not friends. But buns can of course also mark places that are valuable to them, like the spot where the human often sits or lies. There is no guarantee that neutering stops that completely.

            My rookie and I had the same issue. It’s not completely solved. I just put the litterbox on the bed. He went back to using it. Haven’t been able to move it though. And if I’m busy like you and he feels I don’t have time for him he pees directly on a pillow in my bed. Same pillow thankfully. But yeah he makes a statement of you need to make time for me. Rookie is 8 months and neutered as well.
