Has anybody any idea why our rabbit has started using her run as her toilet?

she has only been doing it for a few days,she has plenty of food and water and clean bedding.Has anybody any idea why our rabbit has started using her run as her toilet?
I wouldn't panic. Sometimes a rabbit will just decide it would rather keep its living area clean and dry. A wild rabbit always toilets around the burrow entrance. Partly to mark it as theirs and partly to keep their burrow clean inside. Maybe a cat or a wild rabbit or something has been coming into your garden and your rabbit is choosing to mark its own territory in a more prominent way?


I really wouldn't worry if she seems healthy, she's eating and drinking and her stools are solid then I doubt there's anything wrong at all. if it might be a wild rabbit coming in and you are in the UK make sure your rabbits myxi jabs are up to date.Has anybody any idea why our rabbit has started using her run as her toilet?
I don't think I quite understand, does she have a particular place to poo, like a litterbox?


If she is going anywhere, unless she is trained to use a particular place, she will be going there because is smells like the toilet.


If you thoroughly clean the cage, but keep her litter area smelly a bit like what it's obvious use is, she will probably prefer to use that area.
I would definitely take her to the vet.


I don't know much about rabbits, but I know that if cats are suddenly peeing out of place (as you mentioned, he's been fine for years) then they may have a urinary tract infection or similar problem. They won't necessarily have any other symptoms of illness, so it's best to check. Other reasons are possible (in cats and presumably in rabbits), but since they CAN be checked for physical reasons, it's best to rule that out than assume it's just a behavioral problem, when they may be in pain and a short run of medicine or change in diet could fix the problem.


f it's not that, the vet will have well-informed ideas on what else might be the problem.


Good luck.
does she have a litter box? is she trained to use it? if no, i don't understand... where else can she go..
