Why is my rabbit doing wee spots around the house?

I have a 4 month old lionhead rabbit who is female. She is an indoor rabbit and enjoys hopping around our flat. She is litter trained. However on a few occasions, like this am, she is leaving small spots of wee on the carpet and wood flooring as she is moving about. This is not a constant problem but has happened on one other occasion. Any ideas why she is doing this?Why is my rabbit doing wee spots around the house?
Animals urinate when they get scared -- could she be possibly frightened by something and then let loose? You could possibly provide an extra litter pan out somewhere in the house and see if she goes in there. Maybe her litter pan is too far from where she's hopping about?Why is my rabbit doing wee spots around the house?
Could be a urinary tract infection, animals get them too. Have you brought it up with her vet?





K眉nstler, rabbits like many animals are naturally rather clean and will designate some areas as their bathrooms. ';Don't sh@@@ where you live'; is something many animals practice.
Rabbits belong outside in a cage or pen or even better yet, FREE!
Same problem with my cat - turns out it was a urine/kidney infection. Often humans will have the same issue when they have a urine infection - having to suddenly do lots of small wees rather than normal weeing. Take bunny to vet.
If they eat a lot they will poop. Two rabbits together make a lot. Because you have two rabbits together they will also not poop in the same spot until they get used to the surroundings or ever if they have dominance issues between themselves. If you have a litter box, sometimes you can get the rabbits to use that, but if it's a new place and there are two rabbits, they will distribute their droppings all around as a way to mark their territory. So it will take some times for them to get used to their new home.





And if those soft droppings are cecotropes, yes, they should be eating them but they may be too stressed with their new home to feel safe enough to eat them. And since it sounds like you have both rabbits together, it's hard to tell which one is not eating them. or when they are leaving them around.


Pts
rabbits belong outside





they are not indoor pets





so i dont feel sorry for your weeing problem, but i do feel sorry for the bunny.
I've been told that spaying may help this. I don't know if it's true though.
Because rabbits are not meant to be litter trained, they are an animal. Animals are free to poo and pee anywhere they please.
Take it to the vets its not normal because my rabbit only did it once he is outdor rabbit but in every day for few mins i touched his tail by mistake he got angry n peed lol
