Hello,
My rabbit is a 5 year old netherland dwarf and I've had him since he was a month old. He is neutered and litter trained yet he has always left some poop outside of his box. It wasn't too bad until we moved about a month ago. He has been leaving a large amounts of poop outside of his box. No pee. I was afraid it was a health problem but it seems more like a behavior problem since he only poops in a rectangle area in front of his cage, litter box, and food and water bowl. He also poops a pile while he's eating sometimes too, but I can't put his food and water bowl into his litter box. I don't believe that he's marking his territory either since he does this throughout the day, and its only in this single area.

Does anyone know why he is doing this? Thank you!
