How to teach your bunny boundaries?

[AlaskaTheBunny]

I got my first rabbit last week (She’s 9 weeks old now <3) I have brought her to my bedroom, and she has left feces on my bed , why does she do that? She is toilet trained in her hutch, but this was the first time she has done it. She has done it on my lap twice, and I still love her. How do I stop her from going to places that I don’t want soiled? Please help xo Thank you

Its territorial marking. She’ll probably display some of these hormonal type behaviours at this age. Sometimes they’ll just mark a few times and that’s enough and stop doing it. Others are more persistent!

You might want to bring a second litter box with you when she’s on the bed or sitting with her on your lap. Or just prevent her from being up in these places until the urge to mark lessens.

Desexing will help once she old enough.

My first thought was not very helpful… bunnies don’t have boundaries, lol

Jerseygirl has made some great suggestions and is most likely correct about the reasoning behind your bunny pooping were she shouldn’t.
