I am going to be acquiring a 3-legged rabbit. Now, I haven't had rabbits since I was a kid, but I know enough to read up on their care and requirements. I work for an animal rescue group, and some woman has approached me with a 3 legged rabbit (his leg was broken as a baby, and they had it amputated) which her kids have lost interest in and they no longer have the time/space to care for...

Well, when you're in animal rescue, it seems no one has time/space for anything, sadly...

Anyway, I am keeping him until I can find him a more worthy home. I didn't want him to go to the local kill shelter. This guy cannot be on a wire-bottomed floor because it irritates his stump. The cage they are surrendering him in is barely larger than a carrier. I need some suggestions for a good home-made (cheap!) cage I can build for him that has a flat surface for a bottom? I am going to be building him an outdoor enclosure out of PVC pipe and chicken wire, so he can spend a little time enjoying the great outdoors once in a while.

Also, are rabbits like cats in the sense they are easy/inclined to be litter box trained???
 
I love what your doing, giving the bunny hope. Its not me trying to be funny... but you could just use or make him a play pen (nic cubes would work perfect), as im sure he wont be trying to hop over. Just give him some space to lounge and sprawl.

good luck! update us with some pictures :)

also. the litter training... isnt to hard. He is gonna end up peeing ina certain spot (most likely a corner). until he does, its hard to tell where, but when he does... thats his spot. Place a litter box, and he should learn to use it quite easily. Its not really training as much as it is 'tricking' lol
 
Let me welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

A very lucky bunny.

Many bunny's recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

I have listed some links I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How To Bond With Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.

 
Buns can be litterd box trained. you can try by wiping/sweeping up there pee/poop and just stick it in there litter box.
