Problem near Rabbit..?
I've had my bunny rabbit for a year now and she is about a year and a partly. I have always taken the rabbit inside my house for sometimes up to 5 hours and she will happily play around surrounded by my room without peeing anyway. Yet recently when I pocket her in now she seems to pee after an hour or smaller number.
I don't understand how she could have held her pee for up to 5 hrs before and immediately she can't even seem to make just over 1?
Is within something wrong with her?
Or is it something to do with having too much veg?
Please comfort!
Thanks.
sorry but this was your big mistake. rabbits are not dogs, she should have a litterbox ALWAYS wherever you cart her. i hope you do not make the same mistake again. just give somebody a lift her to any room but give her her litterbox, buy the one for cats, so it's bigger and more comfortable.
Rabbits are naturally nervous particularly young rabbits and will hold their pee because they are not comfortable with being within an area but now that she's older she's used to you taking her inside to play so she feel comfortable to pee as she pleases. Not to mention rabbits have a very quick internal system that cause everything to flow through at a fast rate. 5 hours is a long time for a bunny to hold it all in. Try litter box training her it should oblige.
it is probably because your rabbit had to much to eat before mortal brought in. And when they get older, bringing a rabbit inside, when it is used to person outside, they get nervous.
do you have carpet because you wont really see it otherwise and why dont you put a litter tray contained by your room so she can pee and poo just put some hay and sawdust in the litter tray x how would you feel lacking going too the loo for that long
appropriate to vet
Work on litter training her contained by her outside cage. When she's got it down, bring the litter box surrounded by with her when it's play time. She'll gladly use the potty you've provided for her!
Answers: Hi...I've been raising and showing rabbits for 10 years. I don't think that it's anything to be concerned in the order of, it could just be that she has been drinking more past you bring her inside. Rabbits don't know its bad to pee in a certain place, when they hold to go they go. There's really nothing you can do more or less it unless you want to litterbox train her or just put newspaper or something down and only allow her to be loose contained by a smaller area. But you mentioned vegetables? I never recommend that rabbits be fed any fruits, vegetables, or grasses as it can cause them to own fatal digestive problems and usually causes diarrhea (which lead to dehydration). If you must feed them any fruits or vegetables they should only be given as a rare treat within very small amounts. Pet rabbits do best on a diet of a good quality timothy pellet nurture with 15-16% crude protein. Some brands I like are Purina, Heinhold, Showrite, Producer's Pride, and DuMor. They can be found at Tractor Supply or a feed mill close at hand you. They ususally come in 25 or 50 lb. bags for $6-$12, so they will last you a long time whether you keep the feed fresh by storing it in something close to a rubbermaid bin. Avoid pet and grocery store brands as you can never be sure how long they've been sitting on a shelf or what is in them precisely. Hope this helps and please feel free to contact me with any other question you may have.
