Jealous Yorkie?

[Amando]

My roommate and I decided to buy a dwarf bunny the other day. Cadbury Thumper is a little love bug...

The problem is Izzie. She is 5 months old today. We bought Cadbury on Wednesday. Izzie has only gone potty on her pee pads once or twice since then. Before Wednesday, she was having 1-2 accidents a day at the most...

Anytime we let her out of her pen, she goes potty on the carpet. I've even tried letting her out of her pen right after she has gone potty. That's not working either... I'm pretty sure that she is doing this out of pure jealousy. She is *NOT* lacking on any attention at all.

My roommate and I take turns holding Izzie and the bunny, so Izzie doesn't feel left out...

As I'm typing this I hear Izzie scratching her feet on the carpet...that means another accident!!! Other than telling her no and putting her back on her pad several times, does anyone else have any advice?

Thanks for all of your help!

Amanda,

Sorry to go 'out there', but I absolutely love how Izzy is dressed in your avatar. Too cute.

Now, it sounds as though you are doing what your supposed to. Startling Rhapsody always worked when she had an accident. Let me explain: when she started circling, or if I saw her crouch -- I'd jump up and make a hissing noise (saw this on 'Dog Whisperer') -- she would always freeze and stare at me. I'd cluck my tongue, take her into the yard; then lavish attention on here after she went potty outside. This only happened a handful of times, worked like a charm.

Now Tiger, he still has accidents, and he'll get very territorial after any animals visit. Good luck! I hope she shapes up and gets over her jealousy!
