    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    Update: good news before the bad. Clove is doing better but I am still limiting him and trying not to give opportunities for accidents. He has not peed outside the litter box in any random place for a while so I think he’s no longer confused about where is acceptable to pee, which is awesome...

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    Hahaha! Yeah I wish chinning was enough for this guy! ;) I scrub every new object I introduce to his habitat thoroughly, repeat with vinegar and rinse before putting it in there so it doesn't smell like anything or anyone... still he is skeptical! It doesn't help that the things I now need to...

    Clipping squirmy bunny nails

    That's amazing. She does make it look so easy! I can't imagine that actually working for a different handler but now I am going to have to try myself!

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    Oh wow, cool, I didn't know you could get it like that. It's cloth? Is it firm, like coated metal that will support a rabbit if you attached some sort of edging underneath to prop it up like the one you're getting?

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    Good idea, I can definitely move the puzzle mats for more traction, he hasn't peed on those for quite awhile! I try to at least keep that cardboard box with sand paper glued on top next to it - they appreciate that and it get's them to use the sand paper on their nails a bit. ;) Things are...

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    Thanks for the site! I love that idea, unfortunately they don't deliver but I have actually ordered a small one off etsy and just used a wire cooking sheet before. Cooking sheet much cheeper! ;) But the one on their website is very ideal with the edges, that part you have to get creative with if...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Don't over think it, and don't ask that question yet! lol 😜 Bonding is super stressful but it will not last forever and will be great to not have to worry about a bun getting out and attacking another, etc... My best advice is to go with your instinct moment by moment. You are the only one who...

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    So you think the litter box set up in the pic is good enough or could there be something discouraging about using the box?

    Also I watched Olive lift that bowl right out of the litter box! 😂 she’s use to eating pellets outside the box, I’ll fix that problem!! 😉

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    Would you look at that!!! This is about 20 hours without cleaning the cage floor, which is unheard of with Clove...! They went a whole afternoon, evening and night! There is more poop than you can see from the pic but much of that is near the litter boxes and most likely from jumping out. I...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    Yeah it's so tricky, they're all so different! What is comforting to one can be terrifying to another..! Doing that with 4 does sound like a lot of work! Do they hop away from you for a very long time? Like I said my girl loves pets too but hates being picked up and will run from me immediately...

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    Sorry, please ignore the last post. As for the evening time, there are many possible motives and I can't quite pin down why. They have one cardboard box but Clove prefers to sleep/be on top of any box I've given him rather than under - he's fearless and even in my room opts to sleep flopped...

    Help! Litter box training nightmare!!

    He seems to be a little bit better! I had to ditch the peed pad on a tray because my female was doing zoomies over it, flinging hay, poo, and peed on hay everywhere, making obscene messes and I was worried this would further confuse Clove. Nonetheless, in just one day he learned to pee ON it and...

    What is the best way to make a room neutral territory for bonding?

    I think it's so worth it in the long run, and like JBun said, you really don't know until you try, it could go much very smoothly, ya never know! Have you tried picking them up with towels? Putting one over then rabbit and scooping them in snugly with it so they cant squirm? I find they...

    My female is spayed and very playful and energetic, even more so since I got her a male!

    Nasty Rabbit

    We've already gone into detail about how much spaying helps ;) :) but these are living animals, no one can tell you exactly what will happen after the surgery. I hope you don't take offense to that, I mean it to be realistic and encourage you with previous recommendations!! :) This example...

    Nasty Rabbit

    Have you talked with your vet about her behavior? She's old enough to be spayed, I believe? Maybe ask to push it up..? You can use a spray bottle of water to say "no" to them and give a squirt on the nose. If it's hard to get that aim, either change the location or make the spry less of a...

    Nasty Rabbit

    Awe, she loves the dog?! She wants a friend!! Rabbits are social, very curious, and do great in pairs -NOT Recommending a second! - just saying it might shed some light on her behavior. Obviously I understand you can't trust her with your dog but I would be pretty mean and grumpy if I were a...
