Why is my rabbit pooping everywhere and so frequently when hopping?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 6 days old | 1.3 lbs

My rabbit has suddenly started pooping everywhere when she hops, she has never been litter trained and we are going to get her fixed ASAP, but she poops about 20 times in 4 mins. Is this normal?

Yes, this amount of stool production is normal. You can always start litter training now if you would like to do so. There are many articles and YouTube videos available about how to do this. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/litter-training-rabbits/ )
