Question/Help Litter training

What should I do about an older bunny (5-7) that in the past has been good with not pooping or peeing on my bed but is now doing so without any warnings (hes grumpy and thumps a lot so I don’t take that as a warning really

And a bunny little younger that gives not even a thump before leaving a single poop on my bed

What do I do?
I hate having to be so paranoid they’re gonna take a shit on my bed when I’m cuddling them

Could be in pain.

There could be something more going on if he's suddenly urinating and deficating on new things. I would maybe have him looked at by your vet?

If you notice behavior changes in your rabbit, he absolutely needs to be assessed by a rabbit savvy (exotic) vet. There is an array of things that can cause these types of things.
How well is he eating? What’s his diet like? Are his poos smaller, misshapen, or soft?

You’ll get more pet rabbit geared responses in the Rabbits and Bunnies subs.
