  My 6 month old bunny was litterbox trained perfectly when we got her, but now she sticks her but off of the litterbox and her pee sprays out. She does not pee in her litterbox anymore, but she sits on it. It is just that she points her bum the wrong way and it sprays out. She poos in her litterbox all the time though.
  If anyone has any tips, please say them
  Thanks!
  P.S. She is not spayed yet, we are getting her spayed next month

  Did you move the litterbox? I could see that maybe being the reason…but it’s common enough that there are products for the issue Here’s a good discussion with some products listed-urine guards and higher sided litter boxes.

  Thank you. I will definitely try moving the litterbox to a different place in her cage

  I don’t think K&K is recommending moving the box, just pointing out that moving the box might have been what caused the problem. Generally speaking littler box training in rabbits is about rabbits having preferred locations to pee and poop, so humans can either place a box in the preferred location, and do things that encourage a preference for where the box is. So, the only reason one might move a litterbox would be if the rabbit was showing a preference for a different location. Peeing over the side does not suggest any issue with the box’s location.
  
  Porky had the peeing over the side of the litter box issue, and getting him a larger box did the trick.

  I moved Bumbleberry’s litterbox yesterday, and she seems to be peeing in there again

  If she’s spraying, that is likely because she isn’t spayed yet. That should get better after you have her done.
