My bunny was totally house trained. Free roam in the day and caged at night. The only time she would pee outside of her box was when she was in my bed or spending long periods of time with me on the couch. Idk how some of yall snugs your buns in your bed overnight or in the mornings…. mine would pee every time. Sure you can have them up there but I was never successful with that. I think I prefer to meet my furry friends where they are at, on the floor or on the couch.

Rabbits shouldn’t be sleeping in bed with anyone. For the same reason that people aren’t supposed to sleep with babies. They can slip under the bed covers or roll under a person. They could also get trapped between the bed and the wall, or fall out of the bed.

That’s a really bad idea.

She did so much as sleep in bed with me as jump all over me at various hours. And she let me have the bed occasionally. Just to sleep.

Our bun sleeps at the foot of our bed and has for years. She would occasionally go through a phase of peeing on the bed, like once a year. She is spayed but would still try to claim my spot. We used to put her in her pen in our room at night but she go so upset being locked up, she just free roams our bedroom at night. We have a special waterproof blanket at the foot of the bed now for her. This arrangement has worked for us but every bunny is different and I’d never consider sleeping next to or cuddling your bun while you sleep as wonderful as that sounds (ours would never allow this, she’s in charge).

It does carry a risk, but it can be done sometimes if you have a large bed. The main risk is rolling onto your bun or them getting stuck in things. Ours are only allowed to sleep on the bed when my boyfriend isn’t here, and I roll back his duvet so they don’t get stuck. They automatically keep their distance, or only sit next to my head. Some bunnies can never sleep on a bed, because some start to pee when they’re on soft surfaces. I’d only have a well-trained fixed rabbit there.
Our male bun Owen likes to sleep on the bed: he often joins me for an afternoon nap. He always lays close to the edge, so there’s a lot of space between us. If I want to give him a quick cuddle I only move closer with my head, and I’m very careful to stay awake.
Our previous bunny Breintje used to stand guard over me if I had a rheumatic flare-up. He stood next to my pillow at head height. He stayed awake while I slept, and I can’t move much during a flare-up. When I woke up he sometimes walked to one of my arms, to groom my painful joints. If I wanted to sleep again I’d move the blankets, and he got his cue to move back to the headboard.

My rabbit would jump on my bed when I was sleeping and would sometimes just nap on the end, but most times she would wake me up by digging near my face cause she wanted attention.

My buns always have the opportunity and a little set of stairs to come up on the bed. They are also allowed on it unsupervised during the day.
Most the time Lola naps on the bed during the day. Sometimes Rambo joins her. When we humans sleep they mostly check on us or snooze a bit on the foot end. Often during bunny patrol early in the morning.
They have a bunny-Room with comfy pillows, they often sleep there instead.
This morning Lola joined me and we had a nice cuddle session.
I’m not scared that we would roll over them. They are German giants, just slightly smaller than Continental giants. 7kg-buns. They are big and strong and their bite is quite hard.
They fell off the bed a few times by accident tho.
When Lola regarded me as my partner’s side-chick and herself as his partner, she did a little detour over my face on the way to cuddle with him.. Since we have Rambo I thankfully have my peace.
