Rabbit has selected bed to go in. Will not go to the bathroom in cage

[wasabi9]

I just built a new office in the house and I have my Holland Lop in the office

I have always left the cage open and let her roam around and she wouldalways go back to the cage to go. All of a sudden she stoppedand has selected a little cat bed that she always just used fornaps. She won't go in the cage. Is there any way toget her to start using the cage. I hate to lock her in.

New office, new smells, I'll bet. Threwher off kilter somehow. Rabbits are creatures of habit anddislike changes in environment. The cat bed would be oldenvironmental smells, and, perhaps, that is why she uses it.

Why not put litter box in cage after litter training? Might be better solution.

How would I litter train. Put a litter box over that same spot?

Thanks for the advice. Ibought a litter pan and paper litter that is very safe and highlyabsorbent. Within 2 days she was going and now nevermisses. The office is now very clean and the rabbit canroam.
