Do not give the rabbit access to any other room until he/she is always urinating in the litter box. Confine rabbit to a small area (without carpeting is preferred) with the litter box.Also, the scent in the box is another attraction for them to continue to use it. If you are constantly cleaning it, they will think that it’s supposed to stay clean and won’t use it. During training, you may want a slightly ‘dirty’ litter box to help teach the rabbit where he/she is supposed to go. Whichever material you choose, make sure to change the litter box regularly to keep it clean. NEVER use a clumping litter made for cats – it will clump in the bunny’s digestive tract if eaten. DO NOT USE CLAY LITTERS – some rabbits like to eat litter, and clay can be harmful. Not only they are better for your rabbit, but they are odor-free and highly absorbable. The safest litters are Yesterday’s News™ and Carefresh™.
If this method is used, do not put hay in any other place! This will only confuse your rabbit as to where he/she is supposed to go.
The rabbits will sit in the box and eat the hay in the front and go to the bathroom in the back (it is very natural for them to graze and go at the same time and they usually take to it immediately). Simply put a layer of litter in the bottom of a large kitty litter box and a nice bunch of hay on top of that.
