Hi! I only have Spinner two more days. *Cry* *Sob* *Sob uncontrolably*! Anyways it is sometimes hard to handle him because he has peed on me a few times and pooped a lot on me! So I don't hold him for very long periods of time. Is he just marking me or is he scared? Thanks!

P.S. Sorry for the title. LOL!

Hi Bigsis! So glad to hear from you again and on the end to the petsitting of Spinner. I know it must be very sad for you but maybe you can concentrate on giving the owner information on how to properly care for a rabbit. Even print out info from this web site and include it with the stuff you turn over when the owner returns. By all means refer them here too, we would be glad to have them! Oh I saw the title was was chuckling! As for the marking, I think Spinner thinks you are such a good catch he is marking you as HIS. This is pretty typical for an unaltered rabbit. : )

It is very sad, but I will definently print out some information. My computer has been very dumb for the last few days because I wrote this big long "diary" thing for Spinner's owner to look at and I can't load it up! So my dad says he is going to fix it. Hopefully by the time she comes to pick Spinner up.

It's either marking its territory or it hates you:

"Finally, there is the all-out nuclear weapon of insults, reserved only for the most offensive, utterly unacceptable, good for nothing individuals and behavior: urine. And if you've ever had to clean up a pungent puddle of bunny pee, often bright yellow, orange, or even red, and more than a little odorous, then you know just how powerful this weapon really is. Note that urine used for marking territory and ownership is another story entirely. But when your rabbit pees on your pillow (yes, it happens), you have obviously qualified as the lowest of the low."

I think he's marking you as HIS - if hated you, he probably wouldn't let you get him in your lap in the first place

I usually don't hold him a lot just to check him over, get him out of the pen, or if he hops in my lap. So I don't think he hates me.
