Litter Training your Rabbit



 

Methods of Litter Box Training:
The following methods describe and have been used for litter box
training and been found most effective.

1. Fill the litter box ¼ to ½ full of litter.
Corn cob litter or just plain wood shavings work terrific.
Place the litter pan in the corner of the cage, preferably the corner
the rabbit normally chooses as its bathroom spot.
A rabbit will in most cases always use the same corner of its cage.
By putting the litter pan in the same corner, the rabbit will associate
the box with going to the bathroom.
Another Tip to use, is to place a few of the rabbits droppings
in the pan before placing it in the cage. This way the rabbit
has the sent and is more likely to jump in and check it out.

2. After placing the litter box in the desired area let the rabbit out to run.
Then pick the rabbit up and place him in the litter box
If this does not appear to be working
continue the procedure every few minutes until he catches the sent
and associates this as his bathroom spot

3. Once the rabbit has used the litter box on its own,
use some positive reinforcement, with a small treat and some praise.
This will help the rabbit to understand that it is a good thing
to use the litter box.
Soon, the bunny will use it like clock work and not need the extra treats.

However Please Note:
Keeping the litter pan cleaned and disinfected is important.
If the pan becomes to dirty, the rabbit will move to another spot
It is also important for good rabbit health to keep the pans
sanitized.
