Lisa Shea Forums Parakeets Non-Budgie Pets and Animals Too many changes?

So I finally settled on a name, Jasper.

He is a real sweetie, and I am thoroughly enjoying him, but I wonder if there have been too many changes all at once for him?

I noticed today he is no longer using his litter box...Maybe a result of too much freedom too soon?

Any thoughts?

Love the name Jasper..he looks like a Jasper!
Maybe not using litter box IS do to so many changes. What is he not doing in litter box? Just a random bunny poo, or is he peeing elsewhere too? Just wondering because maybe they mark there territory like a cat would..or even a dog for that matter.

I know that with my Max I had a litter box for him in his cage and also 1 out of his cage. Do you have one out so he doesn't always have to return to cage to go?

He stopped using the box altogether, in and outside of the cage, for pee and poop!

Even inside the cage he has been peeing wherever he is. Although he is spraying, I was prepared for that seeing as how his lovely and responsible owners (that was sarcasm) didnt neuter him. But this is regular peeing, not just spraying.

Im finding pellets everywhere!

I have a separate litter box that is in the room he plays in (the living room) and one in his cage. I have also tried taking his litter pan out of his cage and put that out for him.

But, he is not used to being out of cage, and the way they kept him before, there was only room for his litter pan, and a small space for him to sit (not even lie down!) The cage I have for him, is big enough for the litter pan, and for him to completely stretch out 2x over (in case he wants to play while Im at work)

This is a bit frustrating only cuz Im not sure what to do...I was never very good at toilet training dogs, and rabbits have a similar learning process.
