Litter Training Rabbits | Toilet Training Indoor Bunnies | Rabbit Poo | Rabbit Care



Litter training your rabbits can take a little time, but some rabbits may take to it almost straight away.

You can start litter training at any age but un-neutered rabbits that are litter trained may start marking their territory once hormones kick in, after their neuter they should return to using the litter box as normal.

If you are free roaming your rabbits, you may want to reduce their space to begin with (minimum 3x2m) then you can gradually increase the space once they start using the litter box.

Make sure you are using a big enough litter box for your rabbits and fill with a litter suitable for rabbits.

Rabbits will eat and poop at the same time, so pop a generous amount of hay in the one end of the litter box or in a hay rack above, then place the litter box in their chosen spot where they like to go.

While they are being litter trained, keep their hay in or above the litter box only, then once they are litter trained you can offer forage boxes or toys stuffed with hay outside of the litter box.

Once they are litter trained you will be able to move the litter box to where you prefer if they do decide their chosen spot is in an awkward place!

If you find your rabbits like to go in more than one place, you can add additional litter boxes then gradually reduce them once fully litter trained.

Clean up any accidents outside the litter box using tissue, then pop inside their litter box so they can smell their scent. Clean over the spot afterwards with a white vinegar/water mix.

Do the same with any poops outside the litter box, just pick those up and pop them in there.

When fully litter trained, rabbits may still leave the odd poops outside of the litter box, this is completely normal.

Good luck everybun! 🐰 💩
