When training a rabbit to use a litter box, make sure to use organic litter so that the rabbit won’t get any respiratory infections. Find out how to place a …
My bunny Frank is a young dwarf and ive only had him for 3 days. so far he
goes to the bathroom everywhere in the cage. i tried the timothy hay in the
litter box, and i put all of his messes in the box after he makes them, but
he uses the litter box as a bed instead =/ when i tried moving the box to
where he poops the most he then will poop on the opposite side instead. so
what should i do to help?
Not all organic litters are good, conifer shavings can really affect the
rabbit health and cause serious breathing problems with the time. Best
thing is compressed newspaper, it’s not toxic nor volatile and very
absorbent.
to litter train my rabbit, i kept her in a cage for the first couple months
that i owned her so she got used to peeing and pooping in there. then i let
her run free around the house like a dog or a cat. i took the bars off the
cage (so it was just a tray) and she naturally used the tray to go to the
bathroom. i also kept her food in the tray. sometimes she’ll pee in certain
corners to mark her territory but other than that i’ve never had any
problems with her :).
@MegaPlanelover I agree with Chibigoober.. lol even though its a nice
idea,, you should probably get an actual wooden hutch or indoor cage, a
good size as they need room, or the rabbit will get very stressed and
bored. And get it all ready so everything is prepared before you get your
rabbit. 🙂 If you make it out of cardboard, it will pee inside it and it
will probably smell real bad and soak through the box, it will chew it up
and yeah, the paint will probz be harmful to your bunny. Gudluck.
i just got my rabbit 4days ago he is 8 weeks old and i am really interested
in litter training him he is in and out of the house all the time sometimes
he will be in his hutch and sometimes in the house. the first problem i am
having is that he doesn’t have a corner that he goes in to pee or poo he
goes on the couch which is a big problem i really want to know how to get
him to pee in the litter box and not on the couch please help
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
al i did was put a tray of litter in the cage put some of the poo in it
they smell what it is n go there rabbits r very tidy animals they always go
in the same spot if they can
okay, im just training my rabbit how to use a litter box. but is there a
way i could possibly keep it in place in the corner? because when i put the
litter box in the corner she moves it then pottys in that spot!
Ive had a bunny for a few weeks now and im trying to litter train it, most
of the times it will pee in the bocx, otherwise itll do it on the newspaper
in its cage, and its again begining to poop in another side of its cage!!
very annoyed, it does use it box but it dosent at the same time, it picks
and chooses, im using a wood based pellet litter
Very interesting, U know Ur stuff. I used to look after rabbits at boarding
school over 30 years ago. I C U hav a Dutch black. One of the nice rabbits
we kept was a lovely Dutch blue a boy bought from a pet shop. It’s
important when litter training to put in the tray a small sample of the
eurin & or droppings for the rabbits to get the scent. A very good idea to
put hey into the tray. Rabbits usually go to the toilet in one corner as
you rightly said. Cheers & all the best with your bunnies.
i have the same type as litter box they show in that but how do i put the
hay in it just goes through the wire should i take the wire off or what?
someone plzanswer
@catchifyoucan232 i speak dutch. sorry for the english 🙂 i don’t know what
you call teretorium but i can try to explain it. they pee and poop in the
room to let ‘others’ know that this is where he lives
@hannanasje1987 What’s a “tertorium”? And shouldn’t it be “their” instead
of “there”? Sorry, don’t mean to nit pick. Your comments are really
helpful, thanks for the interaction!!!!
litter training is easy, with my rabbit I let him choose where he wanted to
go basically. he naturally went tp a corner of the room and pee’d there, so
from then on, I put the tray there and he hasn’t been to the toilet
anywhere else. Just that one accident at the very beginning and that was it.

she never seemed interested in chewing anything. she has one of those gnaw
sticks for her teeth but she’s never taken a liking to anything else.

yes it is.. some people just use what they think is ok

@0NEVERHIDE0 you can try to put hay in it or near to it. so he can eat it
when he is in the box.

how long does it take to litter train a rabbit i am trying to litter train
my rabbit. . . . will cat litter work? i am not sure if it will

DOES NEWSPAPER WORK?

try taking some of its urine/poop and actually putting it in the litter
box. It should have the instinct to use the restroom there.

@seanimallover4ever NO, do NOT use cat litter, it brings respiratory
infections.
