1. Choose the Right Litter Box * Use a low-entry box for easy access. * Cat litter boxes work well, or use a corner litter box made for rabbits.
2. Pick a Safe Litter * Use rabbit-safe options like paper-based, wood-pellet, or hay-based litter. * ❌ Avoid clumping, clay, or scented litters—they’re unsafe if ingested.
3. Place the Litter Box Strategically * Start in your bunny’s main area (like their pen or favorite corner). * Rabbits usually choose one spot to go—put the box there. * Place fresh hay on one side of the litter box (they love to eat and poop at the same time).
4. Reinforce Good Habits * If your bunny pees or poops outside the box, gently move droppings into the box. * Clean up accidents with vinegar and water (removes scent). * Keep the box relatively clean but not sterile—leave some droppings so it smells familiar.
5. Expand Gradually * Once consistent, add boxes to other rooms they roam in. * Continue to supervise during free-roam until habits are solid.
6. Be Patient and Positive * Accidents are part of the process. * Avoid scolding—reward with praise or a treat when they use the box.
