litter box training

how do you litter box train a young rabbit

 

[gmas rabbit]

Put a litter box in the corner of their cage with some feces and pee in it. If they have run of the house keep them confined to a small area until they are trained and gradually make it bigger. Put a hay rack beside or on top of the litter to encourage them to stay there. Most rabbits like to nibble when pooing. Pick up several times and day and place them in their dirt box. Choose a corner of the cage that they are already using as a toilet. Most rabbits will choose just one area. Good luck.

mine goes everywhere in her pen =S she wees by her water bowl and poos anywhere she is standing when she feels the urge she has a litterbox in the corner with wood pellets and hay on top but she doesnt seem to like hay bc i think the people i bought her from only fed her pellets ill make her pen smaller maybe that will encourage her to use the liter box

What brand of hay are you using and the type of hay? Have you tried putting some poo pellets in the litterbox?

My rabbit just chose a corner of his cage and I put his litter box in that corner with a few poo pellets. And now he is litter box trained. Even though he isn't fixed.
