Rabbit peeing on self

Question
My rabbit will turn six months old in a week and she recently started peeing on herself.  Is this normal?

Answer
Dear Danielle,

She' at the age where the hormones start to kick in, so if by "peeing on herself" you mean that she's spraying urine, it's time for her to be spayed.  Please see:

and find a good rabbit vet here:

If you mean that she's leaking urine and getting it on herself, then she could have a urinary tract problem, which you can read about here:

Hope this helps!
