        Okay, so both of my bunnies are about the same age. I’ve been *attempting* to litter train them since i adopted them at 7 or 8 weeks. So far, Tink is mostly litter trained (usually dirtier in her room, rather than throughout my room) while Theodore goes crazy all over my room, in his room, and on my bed almost everytiime. WHY?? I mean, I’ve read that it’s because my bed smells like me and/or he wants to mark his territory (he’s been NEUTERED since like 4 months old & doesnt seem to know it{{he still humps poor Tink’s face}}), but come’on HOW can i stop this behavior?? I love giving him his daily nose rubs, he almost falls asleep in my lap.. But i don’t want to have to strip my bed everyday to wash

        what can i do to teach him better potty manners??

          Is Tink spayed? You mentioned that Theodore is neutered, but didnt mention if Tink was fixed yet. That would be part one. Rabbits waste and urine has hormones in it that other rabbits can smell. If rabbits smell other hormonal rabbits, it will in turn also make them act hormonally

          It sounds like they arnt bonded yet at all. Have you tried bonding them together? When they have a cemented bond, the humping will become very minimal and the pooping will be one or two here and there or nonexistent

            Tink is spayed as well. She was spayed at 6 months.. And the bunz are bonded, they love eachother. I think he just tries to remind her that he’s top bunny >:p & he must pee on my bed to remind me also that hes top bun. >(

              Not so much. In general, rabbits like to pee on soft things. Him peeing on your bed is just  bunny instinct to pee someplace soft. Many users here dont allow their bunnies on furniture, use covers such as shower curtains to protect their furniture, or have easy to clean furniture like myself

              How did you bond them? It doesnt sound like their bond is cemented if he really is mounting her so much

                  It’s pretty normal for bunnies to pee on soft things – unfortunate I know. I had this vision before I brought my rabbits home that they would snuggle up together in this super soft plush cat dome bed that I got for them. Wrong. It was so soft that Peanut peed in it lol. You could always put a wipe clean blanket or something on your bed, or lay a towel down. It’d be easier washing a towel daily then a bed set!

                    Charlie used to do the same thing and it drove me crazy. I was close to no letting him on my bed anymore. now i put towels on top of my comforter and a beachy(?) blanket on top that has like a nylon bottom so the pee doesn’t sleep through to my bed. i was putting a fleece blanket on top of that but have since moved it into charlies cage. i’ve noticed that if i wash the blanket he’s usually more apt to pee on it – likely because his scent is gone. but if i have it on my bed for a few days he won’t. i was also afraid he would eat and pee on the blanket in his cage but once i let him lay on it in my bed he’s loved it ever since and hasn’t eaten or peed on it at all.
