Hi I have had my new bunnies for around 2 months, they are 2 years old when I adopted them. For context I had previously years ago owned two female rabbits and they were absolute angels. These bunnies however not so much, they are un-fixed males (which btw I do plan on doing this in hopes it helps) They have been throwing their poops across the room, peeing on each other and everything around, picking on each-other and creating an insane mess the second I’m done cleaning their cage. I am at a loss I have no idea how to make them more manageable, I have no issues with cleaning it just seems I can’t keep up. I have been trying to enrich them and feed them only in their litter boxes to hopefully make them more drawn to it but they usually just kick it out of the way and poop where it would have been 😭 Any tips on how to deal with this and will the getting them fixed really help this behaviour?

They need urgent neutering because those are territorial hormonal behaviours.
Yeah I kind of stopped reading when you said they were not fixed. That will solve, without hyperbole, nearly every single problem.
I learned this as a kid with my first male rabbit. The person I got them from said they were neutered but the amount of pee they sprayed around the house was one sign….then she got my partners’ female rabbit pregnant so clearly, I was lied to.
Got them both spayed and neutered, never happened again and they were the biggest sweetheart for the rest of his life.
Edit: I did read the whole thing but I knew what the rest was going to say after you said they were fully intact, lol…..oh god that smell and the carpet cleaning…
