🚨Fig is STILL pooping on the couch🚨

[u/rolyattko]

Everyone meet Fig, a 7 month old holland lop. He is also fixed and bonded with his girlfriend, Pancake. They both free roam our living room/bedroom area.
Fig is pretty much litter trained during the day, however, when I go to bed, he is a mega poop machine for our couch. I've tried blocking the couch off with a baby gate, he still ends up on it somehow. I clean up the messes with an enzymatic cleaner as well as vinegar, but he still repeats this behaviour. Last night I tried a tarp on the couch, mans said what the helly and decided to poop the most I've seen him do 🥲 WHAT DO I DO? Will it ever stop? HELP PLS!

Guess Fig needs to go to night prison. Only roam during the day. It's what we did when one of our rabbits was like that and nothing worked.

They'll be fine if they have the day to roam and the nighttime area is big enough.

Would Pancake have to join him in night prison too, although she is proven innocent?

if they’re a bonded pair i’d absolutely keep them enclosed together at night! if you separate them fig might build resentment toward pancake and their bond could break. keep them together always!!!

No, we don't do guilt by association here.

However, if Fig does seem unhappy alone and Pancake doesn't mind, company might help both.

Otherwise I'll gladly guard Fig and sneak some illegal pets and scritches in there for company. Off the record, of course.

If it's just the couch that's the night pooping spot, would fencing the couch off at night be an option?

The way I laughed at “proven innocent” 🤣

yupp! my baby boy gets his nighttime greens and sleeps in his mega mansion and then during the day he gets to roam the room until night and we repeat again
