How to Train a Bunny to Use a Litter Box

Instead of using bedding for your bunny, you can train it to use a litter box. Training your bunny to use the litter box will keep its environment cleaner. A litter box prevents germs and bacteria from spreading in the bunny's enclosure if it is maintained properly. Rabbits can quickly learn how to use a litter box with the right training.

      Determine where your bunny prefers to go to the bathroom in its enclosure. Rabbits usually prefer to use a corner or confined area.

      Fill a small litter box halfway with critter litter. Avoid using deodorized, clay or clumping litter in the box because it can irritate the rabbit and cause it to become ill.

      After placing the litter box in a preferred area, wear gloves and pick up a few rabbit droppings. Place these droppings into the litter box.
