How do you potty train a rabbit?

Question

I just got a rabbit and I would like to be able to let it run around in my room for a while every day.

Answer 1

Clicker training!! look it up :-)

Answer 2

When I trained a rabbit for a house pet, it took about a week. Females are easier because they won't mark their territory like a male. Start them off in a small room, such as a bathroom. Use a litterbox in there lined with newspapers. Within a day, you will see what corner your pet will use, so move the litter box there. When your rabbit knows where to go potty, you could let it go into the next room. Increase the time that it is loose, bringing it back each time it makes a mistake.

The messes aren't bad to clean up, but the urine has a strong smell.
Rabbits do love to chew, so keep all cords out of their reach.

Answer 3

How long have you ever had them? How vast is the cage? How vast are the rabbits? If the cage is merely too small and too grimy the rabbits provide up lavatory coaching. They learn that there is not any thank you to be as sparkling as they choose for (and rabbits are very sparkling, like cats, they do no longer tollerate being grimy) so stop attempting. If the cage is vast (dwarf rabbits desire 3 sq. ft all to themselves, extra suitable rabbits desire extra suitable area), then, try getting some extra muddle boxes. some rabbits won't proportion, won't use it if that is grimy, or won't walk their lazy butts into yet another room to apply it. placed poop from each and every rabbit interior the boxes and instruct the rabbits the place they're. sparkling the cage and litterboxes extra, yet go away some poop in it. compliment and cope with for utilising the boxes. youthful rabbits desire time to mature and for field coaching to "kick in" so if yours are youthful than 2 months, provide them it sluggish. shop exhibiting them the boxes and praising them. Unfortuately, some do no longer practice. yet each and every guy or woman is distinctive, so, shop attempting, they'd come around. good success.

Rabbits are pretty easy to potty train,,,you can put a cat litter box in your room,and show the rabbit the box....they are actually easier to train then a kitten I think.
However they are about the messiest animals as far as how much you will have to clean it's cage,,or box etc......(and the urine stinks really bad,and they don't like it when it gets dirty)so as long as you clean that box out a couple times a day,it will go in it,if its too dirty it wont.

Answer 5

I got my rabbit when she was 4 weeks old. All I had to do was put a littler box with yesterday's news in it and she just started using it. When she is out running around I put two litter boxes out beause she is free to go in 3 rooms of my apartment.
Good Luck

Answer 6

I put mine near the food. be consistent on moving the waste into litter box after. soon rabbit well relize that it is goin there (not that smart) lol

Answer 7

Rabbits usually like to relieve themselves in only one or a few places, and they can easily be trained to use a litterbox. Many rabbits get the point if you simply offer them a litterbox where they usually go anyway (starting with in their cage or somewhere in the area they have access to). Also try adding some of their droppings to the litterbox or take some urine-soaked newspaper from their cage and put it in there.

Most bunnies like to munch on hay when they're doing their business, so adding hay to the litterbox will encourage them to go there. Some bunnies like to hang out in their litterbox, so don't be alarmed if you see your bunny napping in there (unless it's very drity, in which case it needs to be cleaned). The litterbox is a safe place for the bunny.

Some bunnies like to have their litterbox cleaned after each use, while other bunnies think that if you clean it every time, you are telling them that it isn't where you want them going. You'll have to pay attention and figure out where your bunny stands on this issue.

Some bunnies have the best intentions, but will back up to a corner of the litterbox and wind up peeing over the edge. If you have a bunny like this, please get a litterbox which is higher on 3 sides or even enclosed on 3 sides to prevent mess.

You should avoid using cat litter, as some of it may be toxic to rabbits, and they may eat the litter. Some of the following ideas may help:

Line the litterbox with newspaper, and put hay on top of it (bunnies like to munch when they go)

Use untreated woodstove pellets

Use "Yesterday's News" litter

Use "CareFresh" litter

Try a two-piece litterbox (made for sifting cat litter that clumps) and line thebottom with newspaper and the top with either Yesterday's News or hay (or both)

Cut a fluorescent lighting grid to fit inside the litterbox to keep the bunny's feet out of puddles - put newspaper underneath, and Yesterday's News or hay on top

Hope this helps!! Worked like a charm with my buns!!!

Answer 8

Gee. I had a hard time myself to potty train my turtle. I guess you need to ask an expert somewhere. Or try to bring your rabbit to one of those dog trainers, it might work.

Answer 9

Answer 10

bunnies tend to use one corner of their living area to go to the bathroom in. just put a litter box in that corner and most will use it from then on. mine does.

Answer 11

I think we did the same way as our cats...
just keep puttin' him in the litter box and give him treats if he does it on his own... and if he doesn't, don't reward him and show him he did something wrong
