Yes, you can litter-train your bunny!



Well I have had Remy for a year and Rukia for about 2 months. It only took my about a week and half to train Remy to use his litter box, Rukia it took a little long.

There are alot of things to know when trying to train your little bun bun. Also there are special litters to get. I have found that ground recycled newspaper works the best, Remy is very particular about his litter if it is not that kind he will get in the box and dig it out of the box. Start with around one inch of litter, and cover that with Timothy Hay.

any hop... Do NOT choose:No clay litter! This can cause serious respiratory problems.
No Cat Works litter! This can cause zinc poisoning and death.& No Pine or Cedar litters! These can also kill your rabbit.

Nobun's perfect. Your bun will probably have a few accidents as they are learning to use their box.

Always remember that rabbits do not respond well to physical discipline. They have been designed to be easily frightened.I have found that if you clap your hands and say no potty if they urinate in other places other than the box, then i put them in the box gently. I used the clap of my hands and words as my discipline. My rabbits respond very well to this method.

The most effective cleaning solution for bunny pee accidents is white vinegar. It's a good idea to get a spray bottle and fill it with white vinegar or vinegar and water.

You will want to find the corner they go in the most and add in some of the bun's poops and urine-soaked paper or hay.

Giving them praise when they have gone is good and also letting it stay soiled a little longer till they grasp the concept will help.

They also will think the box is a bed and often will just lay in it. Which is kinda cute.

How can you not love Bunnies!
