HOW TO LITTER TRAIN YOUR RABBITS

                         LITTER TRAINING

The most common problem among house rabbits is how to litter train them .People usually think it's hard to litter train them because rabbits are dumb but it's not true rabbits are very intelligent and learn easily. Just be patient and they will understand :)

THINGS YOU NEED TO LITTER TRAIN RABBITS :

LITTER BOX : Use cat litter box for this make sure you buy something that has more depth in box so there won't be any accidents near the litter box.Something like this

LITTER/BEDDING: Place a newspaper at bottom to absorb urine and if you want to use bedding on top of newspaper and put lots of hay on top that paper

FOR EXTRA BEDDING :

• You can use wood stove pallets(I prefer wood stove pallets) or beddings made for cats, but choose the unscented version. This litter will neutralize any unpleasant urine odors. Do not use clay-based or clumping litter as this is harmful to rabbits’ respiratory systems. Avoid wood shavings as well.

TRAINING:

1. Rabbits like to eat hay and poop at the same time. So to promote good litter box habits, place hay either directly in the box over the litter
2. It’s easiest to develop good litter box habits in rabbits by limiting their space at first
3. Once your bunny consistently uses the litter box, you can gradually expand the area. If your rabbit starts “forgetting” to use the litter box, then limit the space again until good habits resume.

WHAT TO DO WHEN ACCIDENTS OCCUR:

• If accidents occur, mop up urine with a paper towel and pick up stray poop and place both in the litter box. This helps get the message across that the litter box is the place that they should do their business. Keep in mind that rabbits are generally not 100% perfect with their litter box. Sometimes they leave a few droppings next to the box, or they urinate over the edge of their box. This is normal, so putting the litter box on a tile floor makes it easier to clean up these little mistakes.
• Be patient and persistent. Litter training takes time, especially if your rabbit has learned bad habits. It takes a while to retrain them. If you can see they’re about to go outside their litter box (they may lift their tail or sometimes they sort of shimmy down in a seated position right before they go), try to pick them up and put them in the litter box or corral them in. This is oftentimes easier said than done of course.
• If your bunny is insistent on going in one corner of the room, sometimes it’s easier to give in to their stubbornness, and place a litter box in that corner. Sometimes when rabbits consistently choose another place to go, they are trying to tell you that that’s where they want to go.
• If your rabbit is pooping/spraying pee everywhere, this is probably due to your rabbit marking his territory. It’s a good idea to get your rabbit spayed/neutered in order to ease territorial feelings.
