How to Toilet Train Rabbits?

Naturally, rabbits pick one place or more (usually corners) to drop their urine and their pills. Here are some suggestions to help your rabbit to use the toilet box. Adult rabbits are more easily trained than younger rabbits, especially the younger ones as rabbits’ ability to learn increases when they grow.

In choosing Litter you must concern about:

- Most rabbits spend time in the toilet box
- The rabbit will always try to chew some of the litter
- Rabbit urine has strong odor

It is recommended to use organic litters made from alfalfa, oat, citrus or paper. Avoid litters made from soft wood like pine or cedar shavings or chips, because this litters can cause destruction of the liver in rabbits who use it. Another way is to place a handful of dried grass (hay) in each box toilet, or use dry grass as a litter. Put several sheets of newsprint also help absorb the urine so your bunny does not stand on his urine. Most newspapers now use soy ink, which is safe for your rabbit but check first to make sure. Clearly, you need to replace the dry grass every day, because rabbits like to eat it. Frequently clean the litter box. Use white vinegar for cleaning stubborn dirt on the box, let it get wet. If the urine has dried, you can use detergent to eliminate spots and odor. For an organic litter, you can use as fertilizer or compost. Rabbit droppings can be given directly to plants as fertilizer. Use a large cage to contain a litter box let with food box, shelter and beverages, toys and others and also still enough room for the rabbit to lie down. Put the litter box in the corner of the cage.

However, there is a mistake in toilet training that typically happened: Hasty. Rabbit takes time. Maybe that’s the grace that is given to you in this busy world. They require you to stop to sit and watch. It is important for you to understand that this process takes time. A rabbit is better trained for three years and urinating beside a box for three days and require three weeks of intensive training to get back his good behavior. Why are bad habits that need long time to change it rather than start it as a good habit not?
