Question
So I've got this bunny named Drift who's about a year and a half now and he's
becoming a lil terrorist. He will not stop peeing on bed. I got him neutered
because I was told he would stop, but he hasn't. I was then told that it would
take about a month for his hormones to stop and then the peeing would stop
too. As great as that sounds, that is not my case. I'm starting to get really
frustrated. He is litter trained and is really good about it. It's just every once
and a while that he does this. I really don't know why. Any suggestions would
help at this point.  Thanks.

Answer
Hi,

if it is 'every once in a while' as you say, I would just roll with it.  If it's always in the same spot, put another litterpan down there, he may be saying he wants one there.  Rabbits do mark territory, even neutered.  The difference is that neutered rabbits don't mark all over, and excessively - you can get by with them picking 1-2 places they tend to mark/re-mark, and pop a litterbox there and they will use it.

The other thing it could be is if they mark something that smells like you or another animal, they will re-mark over that scent to make it 'theirs' again.
