Instructions
Sit on the floor in a small, enclosed area with your rabbit and place the litterbox in one corner of this area.
Place a handful of hay in the litterbox. Rabbits like to munch hay and use the litterbox at the same time.
Soak up any puddles your rabbit does with a tissue and place the tissue in the litterbox.
Place your rabbit in the litterbox and let him sniff the soiled tissue. Say, 'Do puddle, (and your rabbit's name). Do puddle.'
Let your rabbit go. He will probably resist staying in the litterbox and go hopping about the small area you are in.
Pick up any pebbles (feces/turds) your rabbit drops and place your rabbit back in the litterbox.
Hold the pebbles under your rabbit's nose, so he can sniff them and say, 'Do pebbles, (and your rabbit's name). Do pebbles.'
Let your rabbit go, so he can continue to explore.
Do this every day at the same time for several days, until you know that your rabbit is using his litterbox regularly.
Praise your rabbit for using the litterbox correctly.
How to Litterbox Train Your Rabbit
Rabbits are very intelligent. They make wonderful house pets for adult households. If you supply the litterbox and some gentle guidance, many rabbits will practically train themselves to use it. You can use a plastic Rubbermaid tub that is shallow enough for your rabbit to hop in and out of it or a metal litterbox from KW Cages. If you use the plastic tub, you will need to use shredded newspaper, hay, or Carefree cat litter. Other litters contain too much dust, which can cause pneumonia in your rabbit's delicate upper respiratory tract, which can be fatal. In the rubber tub, your rabbit will sit in the litterbox on whatever puddles and pebbles he leaves. The KW Cages litterbox contains a removable metal mesh floor, so your rabbit's paws and bottom will remain clean.
