Bunny very territorial

[trevorish]

I have a male rabbit who isn't neutered yet and he seems to climb on the sofa and pees there when I'm not around, he never pees or poos anywhere else but his litterbox, only on the sofa where I usually lounge. Not only pees there, when I'm sleeping on the sofa, he will jump on to me and he will poo on me and once he even bite me.

Maybe the sofa smells like me and he wants to claim his territory (the litterbox is beside the sofa) I read somewhere else that a neutered rabbit still marks on sofa. I will neuter my rabbit soon but if the problem persists what should I do?

you need to neuter him....
he will be less aggressive..but certain breed.... no matter how you neuter
they will also be aggressive...especially those local cross breed like mine ....

you can train them but it is very hard.......did you buy when the rabbit is small?
wow your rabbit jump on your sofa.....- cool........

my one jump until upstair :)

but they never poo in my sofa because i always supervise them
never near my sofa - because i chase them away....

i got two to control.....
but my darling eldest no need..... he wont pee nor shit anywhere unless he goes back home

I bought him when he's a small little guy. His name is Lupe. He's actually not agressive towards me or other people. He loves being pet and play chase or hide and seek with me.
He only bit me when I'm on the sofa. Maybe he's trying to tell me that it's his place and I shouldn't be there.
Fingers cross when he's neutered it won't happen again. Or else I should buy him his own sofa.

awwww so i guess it is time for you to neuter him
since you mentioned he went peee on your sofa
probably the scent - he is very territory...and yes rabbits are like this.....

sort like invading

so your sofa is your rabbit home - for him to eat, shit and sleep :)

you go get a new sofa
