rabbit peeing all over

[hillbillycitygirl]

I have a doe that is peeing on EVERYTHING, all over her cage, in her food on her water dish..everywhere. What is going on?

 

[Ms. Research]

Only have bucks. My bucks hit 4 months old when the hormones started kicking in, and they started to mark. Peeing at certain places to mark their territory. It's a male thing.

How old is she? Babies (males and females) take a while to learn where they are supposed to urinate. And just go where they are at the time they need to go. As they get older they do pick a spot, in a litter box or a part of a crate with wire bottom which they go all the time to urinate or defecate.

If she's still a baby, she will learn. It will get better in time. If she's older, I'm truly not sure. Hope others with more experience on this forum pipe in.

This is such an annoying time lol...I've got it in the eyes, mouth, ears...so whenever I have a young buck, I always walk around like this:

Are you sure your doe is a doe? I've never had a doe that peed all over everything...usually they pick one or two spots and will only go in those. Other than that, really not sure. I think Ms. Research is right about it being age if she's young. Babies tend to be messier.
Also, if possible, I'd get her food dish up on something along with the water dish...peed on food is wasted food and wasted money

the water bottle is up as high as I can get it and it is still covered in pee from top to bottom, and the food dish is about half way up the side of the cage, I had to take the top off of it to be able to put food in because its so close to the top, and still it is full of pee saturated food every day. we bred her about 28 days ago so i put a nest box in there and now that is saturated in pee too..shes a peeing machine. Shes about 8 1/2 months old....and she is for sure a she...and Im pretty sure she isnt pregnant but I wanted to make sure things were taken care of if she was infact pregnant. What a messy, stinky disaster.

I bought her and a sister about 6 months ago and both does have issues. this one wont stop peeing and the other does head is tipped back half the time, she looks at you sideways and lays down on the floor of the cage and tips her head backwards to drink. its so weird. I am not breeding them (after being sure the pisser isnt preg) they are going to be butchered. bad bloodliness?

Does she drink more than what seems to be normal? Is her urine color normal (sort of yellow-ish)? Was she doing this when you first purchased her? The other doe sounds like it might just be a little quirky personality-wise, but excessive urination can indicate more serious issues.
It could just be that she's drinking a lot, but I doubt it. Is she overweight at all?

Sorry about all the questions, but it'll help with figuring this out.

She may be ready to be bred if she's old enough. It's possible she is leaving "markers" around to let available bucks know shes available also.

Definitely possible. Never thought of it that way. Bucks "markers" are to let all know they are there. Why not Does?

sounds like bad bloodlines to me. I would put them in the freezer and start over with a good breeder. I think she has a infection. I have never seen or heard of a female that bad before unless there is a problem and after you say the neck thing of her sister. It sounds more bad breeding then anything,

Sounds like the sister has "Wry Neck" it is a parasitic infection...here is a link with some great information on this condition.

I have these two males or a month and they always have gone in the two catpans I have in their pen. In the past two weeks one or both are now just seeming to pee all over the place. They were so good at going in the pans. Is it because they are marking? They are 3 1/2 months and the one buck as of last week is relentless on trying to mount his brother. I have an appointment for both Monday to be fixed. Do you think the peeing all over the place will quit after they are fixed?
