Baby gates? I have a collapsible play pen type thing that I fence in the chicks with for play time... I got it at a yard sale for like $5. It's about... 16 feet long stretched out. Not sure how big the bed is, or how many sides you must cover...

So glad to hear that the ACV is working. It does take time for you to see results but it does work. I truly have proof every time I clean their litterboxes.

Regarding getting your bunny out for his run, here's something I use.

CCourson05's reply regarding baby gates is a good idea too. You can find something in a yard sale or you can go to a store. Or even a playpen could work.

THANKS FOR MENTIONING THE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (ACV) FOR THE RABBIT'S WATER. (HAD TO GOOGLE ACV TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS) MY BUCK WAS GETTING READY TO BE MOVED OUT TO THE COVERED PORCH BECAUSE HIS SCENT IS SO STRONG. HE MAY STILL BE MOVED IF I CAN'T GET HIM TO STOP MARKING HIS TERRITORY. HE PEES & POOS ON THE FLOOR IN THE CORNER RIGHT NEXT TO THE LITTER BOX . AT THE LEAST HE IS GOING TO A CAGE SOON. HE IS SWEETER THAN OUR DOE WHO IS LITTER TRAINED & HE LOVES TO BE HELD SO I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HIM INSIDE.

I have to cover 3 sides of it ,. It has been 3 days now and normally the smell would be so bad I would HAVE to clean it no matter what time of day or how much stuff I have going on at the time . I had a lot of things to do today and didnt get the time but guess what ? It STILL dosent smell !? Im simply amazed

Mine always uses his litterpan and dosent try to mark his territory even when I let him out,thankfully . (as far as im aware anyways)

I would let mine just live loose in the room like some people do but I keep my dog in there at night time and that would go very badly ,. :/ Hope it helps you also .

He has a cage that I take apart and turn into a pen like this cause its the same size but its in storage at the moment(its big enough that the pitbull used to sleep in it lol ) , I think after christmas I will put him back in that,that way he can stretch his legs and I wont have to let him out every single day . Only problem,it takes up alot of room :/ oh well

I'm so glad I found this post! My rabbits smell horrible, they are in the bathroom, and I clean their litterbox daily. It's just gross. I also saw a different post about vents, so I cleaned them, but they weren't bad at all, so I think it's just the urine. I started adding acv, and they'll drink it, but how long does it take to start working? Also, the smell was less when we ran out of rabbit pellets--do they have to have pellets, or can they do well on hay with some fresh veggies?

I'd like to keep them in the house, they get cuddled so much more plus out of cage time, but the smell is overpowering.

You will be amazed how fast the ACV works. I saw real results in the urine odor (less) in about 2 weeks. I have to say I can now stretch the cleaning of the litter box to every two days cleaning instead of every day. But by the third day you can smell the urine a bit so we stick with the every two days because they are in my living room.

The pellets are important along with hay. Fresh veggies as a treat is given to our buns once a day. They love broccoli, collard greens, spinach, brussel sprouts. Plus every other day they get some fruit. They love apples and strawberries.

Keep up with the ACV. It does work. I like to keep mine in the house too. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the quick response. It's only been half a week, so I'll give it a couple more weeks, I was just wondering how long it took before I'd notice a difference. I won't stop the pellets then. It's just that one of the rabbits will eat pellets only and hold out for them while not eating her hay and I did notice a significant difference in smell without them. :/

make sure you are feeding a pellet with extract of yucca in it. That reduces the odor as well. You can also put lime or a product called sweet PDZ in the trays that does a lot for the smell.
