Litter Training Rabbits

Did you know that most rabbits take pretty well to litter training? Litter training not only helps keep the cage cleaner but makes it possible to have them out and about with less mess. My rabbit Specky had a decent track record with litter training, though I didn't work as hard at it as I could have (that's him on the right sitting in his empty box at cleaning time). In general, it's best not to expect perfection from your bunny in this department, but if you put in the effort, you and your bunny should be able to get close. Big exception: if your rabbit isn't spayed or neutered , retaining litter training beyond puberty will be much more difficult. The process of litter training does take a bit of patience as explained in "Litter Training Rabbits."
