My Bunny SPRAYS ME WITH PEE!!!

[Greta]

Hi everyone!

Just thought I'd throw this out there:
My little sister has a 2 year-old buck (unneutered)
that flips people, especially me, with pee. Gross? definetely!!
Any advice on breaking this disgusting habit of his?
What I often feel like having for dinner? RABBIT STEW!! :X

***I sure miss those emoticons... that one of the little guy cooking would be perfect...***

The only thing that would help at this point is a reduction in testosterone (aka neutering)

But that said, its not guaranteed he would stop.. He's been spraying now for a minimum of a year and it has become a learned normal behavior and extremely difficult to untrain him.

Are there any triggers that seem to make him spray? i.e. territorial issues are you making him angry? Try to figure out what is making him want to spray and remove that problem from the situation

I miss them too, andI would insert the big laughing smiley face.I have been blessed enough to have never been sprayed, but some others have. My little boy has no manhood. Poor guy.

 

[FreddysMom]

be thankful Nicky, be thankful LOL

 

[Nicky Snow]

oh i am.

 

[Greta]

What seems to trigger him is me being around!
when he's out on the back deck, when I even walk by (not on the deck)
I get nailed... usually in the face! ever wonder what bunny pee tasteslike? now I know! **barf** (oh, how I miss those emoticons!) I thinkit's time to call the vet...

cackle cackle cackle bwahahahaha!

Oh, but he LOVES you! Boing boing FFFFFFFFSHT boing boing boing!:bunnydance:

I know aaaalll about that, and once they get it into their wee littletestosterone-driven noggins that you are the love of theirlife......you are doomed.

:sunshine:

However, one can get used to anything, as I can testify. So Isympathize, but no, there isn't much you can do about it with anunaltered male. hehehe

Our Benji was real good at this. too! Especially when he developed theability to jump, spin & spray. For a few months he thought hisname was "DUCK!!"

He stopped after we had him neutered and his litter habit improved as well.

I am pleased to report Freddy's spraying hasgone down by 98% post-neuter. Vicky is still not allowed up on my bedwhile he is out or I'll get sprayed (jealous boy!).

[loplover]

I was at our county fair and walking throughtthe rabbit barn and all of a suden Bam! I got sprayed. I aculy kind offound it funny.

 

[peapoo_bunny]

i know this is stupid but i just want to make sure.. females don't spray do they?:shock:

 

[AmberNBuns]

I've never owned a female, but I have heard of females spraying... I don't think it is as bad as males though.

 

[m.e.]

Yeah, I've heardthat females can spray, too...don't have any experience in the area,thank goodness

Buck the little buck that went to Petco hassprayed everyone at the shelter. I don't think that I could stand themess of an unneutered male. When I brought Peewee home (adopted him)not only did he poop and pee all over everywhere but my altered rabbitsseemed to pee and poo in response to him. Now he's neutered andeveryone is cleaner. I would think that Gi stasis could be cured byplacing the rabbit next to an unaltered buck. Sometimes they go so ftenand so much that one doesn't know how such a small animal can produceso much feces.
