Why is my litter-trained rabbit suddenly pooping everywhere?

Question

My rabbit can't stop pooping everywhere. She was litter trained and then she suddenly is pooping constantly, when she hops or runs poop comes out. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 18 days old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Rabbits can be territorial, and will often leave poop to make their territory. I see that Hazel is unspayed, which would contribute to the problem. Unspayed rabbits mark their territory more than spayed rabbits. If you added a new rabbit to the house, this could account for her pooping constantly. However, a sudden change in toilet behavior from a previously litter trained animal can suggest an underlying medical problem. I would recommend taking Hazel to your vet for a physical exam to see if there is a medical cause behind her pooping constantly.
