How to Litterbox Train Your Pet Rabbit

By eHow Pets Editor

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Newspaper
Litterbox
Pelleted litter

Step 1:
Lay newspaper in the bottom of the rabbit's cage. When the rabbit urinates, tear off the paper with the urine on it and put it in the litterbox. Put rabbit pellets in the litter box, as well.
Step 2:
Put pelleted litter into the rabbit's litterbox. Make sure the litter is safe, because rabbits tend to lay in the litterbox for long periods of time. Do not use kitty litter that clumps. It can cause respiratory problems for your rabbit.
Step 3:
Move the litterbox to a place that your rabbit will be apt to use it. Some rabbits prefer urinating in a certain spot. Leave the rabbit in its cage when you are not at home until the rabbit is fully trained.
Step 4:
Begin putting the rabbit into the litterbox the first day you bring it home. Place the rabbit in the litterbox so it can smell the urine and the pellets. Once they smell this, the rabbit will consider the territory marked and they will be more likely to return to the litterbox when they need to go to the bathroom.
Step 5:
Consistently put the rabbit in the litterbox periodically throughout the day. If this is done regularly, the rabbit should be completely trained within one week.
Step 6:
Reward your rabbit with a treat, cuddle time or praises every time it uses the litterbox. This will encourage the rabbit to use the litterbox.
