Litterbox training our rabbits?
Hey there,
We recently got our two rabbits, they share a cage and we let them run around the office for approx 3 hours... anyways, in the cage, they just poop or pee wherever they go, meaning they won't go into the corners, just in a random place. Any tips? I gathered a lot of their feces and put it in the litterbox, and the rabbits only go in it because it's comfy (my theory), but otherwise, it's basically everywhere they go to. (Automatic poop machines xD)
Anyways, hope you can provide information to help train them. I put hay and food in it too, to try to encourage to use the litterbox. So far no luck.

I have been told ( mind you I am no expert rabbit wrangler) that the easiest way to litter box train a rabbit is to find where they are using the bathroom the most in your house during their "free" time. Maybe in a secluded spot. Behind the couch, under an end table. And put the litter box there. And you can also put the litter box in their cage when you put them up too. So they recognize this as being theirs to poo in. It's ok if it takes up alot of their cage. Just take it out and put in the most used spot while they are out running around

I tried all of those training suggestions and really my rabbit just started going only in his cage on his own... he'd hop around and occasionally go back in the cage to go. It might be harder because you have 2 rabbits because I know if one of mine is out and smells the other one around the room he'll poop where if he doesn't smell the other one he doesn't (I started waiting a few days between letting them in the same space or clean it up well in between). I think that could be a big factor. Mine eventually picked their 'corner' of the cage too, it just took some time for them to decide I guess.

After some years of trial and mistake i detect the desirable clutter is: backside: Newspaper center: Layer of aspen bedding desirable: a valuable thick layer of Timothy Hay. Like those with a newspaper, bunnies opt for to do something on an identical time as going to the bathing room.. they opt for to consume hay, this makes the field lots greater beautiful to them. in case you come across your bunnies are digging out the clutter, placed a cord grid (those style that make cabinets and so on) below the thick layer of hay, they might then consume the hay on desirable, yet not dig out the bedding. i'm happy to be certain you're clutter training, right here is to a happy residing house bunny, desire you've yours cage unfastened!
