I have a rabbit that is urinating everywhere in her cage. I just built this cage on Friday and it has a shelf in there which she uses and appears to like it, but I came home today to find urine on the shelf. She uses her litterbox, but then digs in there and scatters dirty litter/bedding everywhere, which I know is part of the problem as probably urine smell is getting everywhere. She is about 5 months old. She was previously housed in a smaller wire-bottomed cage with a litterbox and had the same behavior. I use pine pellets in her litter box, and do give her some hay in there too.
I'm going to try to make something to have a "covered" litter box ... use wire caging above the litter and hope that may help.
I have thought about using urine guards on top of the shelf, but the urine would just go underneath the guards. Any ideas to help contain the urine on the shelf?
Or any other advice, besides giving her more out of cage time?
