the cage is really close to her. but she did her "business" on my floor.

idk...help..

Answer 1

Give her time or when shes out of her cage put her litter box outside of her cage and show it to her that might help =) Or shes not litter trained =P

Answer 2

I've known of a lot of people to claim an animal is house broken or little box trained as an easier quicker way to get rid of them.

But it could also be the litter or is it the same cage she used before? A lot of changes can effect it.

Answer 3

Your bunny is getting used to her new environment. Put some of her droppings in her litter box and she will get the hint. It helps to start her off in a small room first and keep her in there until you are sure she is using her box.Bunny has a good sense of smell and hearing. It takes a few weeks for them to acclimate to a new area. She will have accidents at first. Don't take it personally. She's just unsure of the situation.

Answer 4

Have you ever had a rabbit before? I have a friend that has one and lets him run around a whole room. He chews on the carpet. Im a janitor at a college and we are cleaning the dorm rooms right now and a student had 1 and it crapped and pissed all over their room and it stank something awful. I have  1 that stays outside in a hutch which is where I think they should stay if you are going to have 1. The college charged the students for the damage by the way.
