I'm taking care of the neighbours rabbit Clover for 7 weeks while they are travelling around Australia, and I've taken Clover down to the vet who has confirmed that she is pregnant. She's any where between 6-3 days away from having the kits (in my estimation).She has her outdoor hutch and the boxed in part I put fresh news paper and hay in there and over night she's pee'd all over it and poo'd too.How can I discourage this? She isn't litter trained at all and just goes where ever she feels like it. The boxed in area is large and I put a lot of hay in there and it's all wet now and un-usable, I'll end up using all the hay I have if I have to keep changing it every day till she kindles. I don't want to not put hay in there as she could kindle at any moment as no one is sure when she was mated.
This is a pet rabbit by the way and I am really annoyed that they let this happen, they did give the male away because he was 'stinky' which is sad. They don't know Clover is going to be a mama yet, I havn't heard from them since they left.
I'm thinking she needs a litter tray at the other end of her hutch but it may get full of water if it rains so I'm not too sure how to go about it. Any ideas would be great. She does have a roof over the entire hutch and it's nice spring weather here, but rain may drive inside ways.
