Powder still uses his box inside the cage fine - but once he's out he has his little dark spot he likes. He was using one corner, so I put his litterbox there. He used it for a week. Then he swapped to the other corner, so I put a litterbox there. Well, now he's going in between the two litterboxes... he'll even go into his litterbox, sit there for a minute, then go out of it and go potty in the area in between.
He won't use a dirty litterbox, so I do a spot cleaning after every time he uses it - leaving a small bit of urine litter and a few droppings in it. This was fine for him the first week. When he uses the in between area for droppings, I pick them up and put them in his box (unless there is a lot, then I throw most away and just put a few in his box since too many make him not even go in the box at all). I put a towel down between the two as well, to protect the carpet from his urine and I wash it daily.
Is there anything I can do to make the in between area not appealing as a bathroom?
He doesn't go anywhere else now that I have blocked off the boyfriend's chair. He's a good bunny about staying in one area. He'll even come all the way across the house to use the one spot. I just wish he'd start going IN the box again!
His neuter is later this month, after bill week and after I talk my boyfriend out of the sympathy pain of having that part cut off of a male.
