Question
Hey i hate to sound stupid but i just got a rabbit a week ago and the first few nights i let him out he was fine...now that hes been here a week he has been pooping in random places around the house not peeing but just leaving pellets around the house...now i know they are easy to clean and what not but thats not the issue this doesn't mean he is sick does it?..he is 7 months old and not neutered please help

Answer
Rest assured, he's not sick, just marking his territory. Rabbits leave pellets around their space to warn other bunnies, 'Hey, I live here!'

Neutering may help him to be less territorial, but the fact is most rabbits do this. Luckily the poops are small, hard, odorless, and easy to clean up.
