If you want your rabbit to free roam, you first need to litter train him. It's easy to do. Rabbits are naturally clean animals that tend to go to the toilet in one spot anyway.

There are three simple steps to train your pet to do this. Depending on his character and habits, this may take a week or a month. The most important things are to be patient and not rush the process. Follow our recommendations and you will definitely achieve results.

Step 1: Choose the right litter box

Choosing the right box will simplify the process of accustoming the rabbit. Use a shallow and wide litter box with non-adhesive filler. Rabbits prefer a soft surface, so you can use straw or bio mix litter made specifically for rabbits.

Step 2: Place litter box in the right place

Don't expect your pet to go where you want. Place the tray where the rabbit spends most of his time. Rabbits love to munch while they’re doing their business. So, you should put a feeder beside the litterbox to entice them to use it. 

At the beginning of training, it is better that litter boxes are located in all rooms. This will make it easier to control your pet.

Step 3: Reward the desired behavior

After your rabbit uses the litter box, reward him with playtime or treat. This will help reinforce the link between using the tray and a positive experience. If he doesn’t use the litterbox, pick up the urine or pellets in a paper towel and drop them in the litter box. The scent will reinforce that the litter box is the place where he should go to the toilet
