Hi! I'm a new bunny owner and I'm already having some behavioral troubles with my Tokki.
Some general info, sorry if it's irrelevant: we believe him/her to be two and a half months of age - previous owner told us he/she was born on February 12th. Tokki has not been to the vet yet and so we have no idea if it's a doe or a buck. We only know he/she hasn't been sterilized yet.
Tokki hasn't been using his/her litterbox in the time we've had him/her so far (which is less than a week). Instead what he/she likes to do every morning is be released from the cage, climb up on my bed and leave a nice stinky warm puddle in one of the corners. Yikes!
Tokki does not like being handled, despite enjoying being pet when he/she is relaxed. So all the guide videos on "How to stop your rabbit from peeing on the bed" haven't really helped. I've tried the vinegar trick too - I wouldn't be on this forum if it had worked.
Should I just restrict his/her access to the bed and wait after he/she has been spayed or neutered to allow it again? I'd hate to do it since the bed seems to be Tokki's favorite spot in the whole room - I've only ever seen him binky and flop there and nowhere else in the entire room. He/she does seem to enjoy napping on it, apart from peeing on it.
So uh.. any suggestions?
