Litter Box Training

When litter box training your rabbit you need to make sure you have the right kind of litter box.  As I mentioned in my previous article this depends on the size, kind, and sometimes age of your rabbit. For litter box training I recommend corner litter boxes. Well, once you have the litter box, you should put it in the corner the rabbit is mostly going to the bathroom in. This will encourage the rabbit to go in the litter box. In one corner of the litter box you should put some hay. This will also encourage the rabbit to use the letterbox, as it will eat the hay. If the rabbit is spending time in the litter box, it is bound to go to the bathroom. Eventually your rabbit will learn to follow the smell. Make sure to change the hay daily. If you see any loose droppings you should scoop those up and put them in the litter box. You should also take some of the bedding the rabbit has peed in and place it in the litter box. The rabbit will follow the scent, again,  and should learn to go in it. Your rabbit may not learn this at first, as mine did, it may take a week or two. You have to be patient. If your rabbit does not learn for a while, it is not your fault. My rabbits' mothers were litter box trained, which allowed her children to pick up on her habits. Keep in mind that your rabbit will still leave a few loose droppings in places after it is trained, but it will continue to urinate in the litter box.
