Why does your rabbit urinate a lot?

Answer 1

I assume you mean you walk by it's cage and it sprays you. Only bucks do this as they mature. I had a buck that sprayed my husband every time he walked thru the barn with a certain aftershave on (usually when we were fixing to go out). What it means is either the rabbit does not like the scent you are wearing or it sees you as a rival trying to mark his territory so it turns right around and 'marks' you right back. Rabbits like this will continue to do this and it will get worse with age. I have heard of some people breaking their rabbits of this bad habit by spraying them right back with a spray bottle full of water. I never had a buck that did this that I kept long enough to try to break.

Answer 2

Cuz it felt like lying there or it was uncomfortable or where it usually lies is dirty maybe try cleaning the cage or get new bedding or if u don't put it in the whole cage do that but I only put bedding in half the cage cuz he didn't like it there but once in a while he lies in his bedding

A Mother rabbit urinates on her babies to cover up smell in the wild. The only reason caged rabbits would urinate on each other is to many rabbits per cage or they were to close to each other when the other one urinated.

Answer 4

Rabbits will urinate more the more water they drink. It's best for rabbits to drink lots of water, because then their urine is less concentrated, and they're less likely to suffer urine problems (like sludge, stones).

Ways to encourage water drinking:

• Always provide cool, clean, fresh water to your rabbit.
• Scrub out the container (bowl or bottle) daily to prevent bacteria.
• Rabbits who eat lots of hay are more likely to drink lots of water than bunnies who eat more pellets, so consider limiting pellets and really encouraging hay.
• Douse the rabbit's greens in water.

If your rabbit isn't urinating very much, there could be a problem. Is the urine thick and mustard yellow (sludge)? Does the rabbit dribble urine around instead of going in a particular spot? Does the rabbit seem to strain to urinate, or cry out while urinating? Are there any other signs of ill health in your rabbit?

If your bunny is sick, bring her or him to a vet with experience in rabbits.
