Do I need a Litter Box?

[Abigail_Carolina]

In a couple months, I will adopting a couple rabbits (most likely Holland Lops). They will both live outside, due to some of my siblings being allergic to rabbit fur, and so we can't have them as inside rabbits. I was wondering if-- even though they will live outside in a hutch-- I will still need a litter box. The hutch I'm getting has a pull-out drawer thing (where I suppose you pull out to change the bedding and such) and I don't know if that means I'll need a litter box or not. I'll attach a picture of the hutch for reference.

A litter box would make cleanup much easier for you.
Are you planning on building a run around the hutch? A space where the rabbits have permanent access to run around the enclosure? By itself, that hutch would be far too small for even 1 rabbit.

Yes, I am planning on having a very large run around the hutch.

Good luck with your bunnies.

I would use a litter pan because the tray gets extremely dirty! I didn't litter train when I first got a hutch similar to that one and it got very stained. I had a hard time finding a litter box that would fit in the hutch, but I found this one and it works perfectly: Sterilite, 8 Qt./7.6 L Dishpan, White - Walmart.com.

Please refer to you other post you made where blu eyes gave you all the info.

I would litter train my outdoor bunnies because it's a lot easier to clean and also if I move them to live indoors I don't have to train them. They are already done with the litter training, I'm quite lazy and like the feeling of just taking out the litter box, dump the content in a bag and fill the litter box up again.

My hutch which I bought fits a normal cat sized litter box.
