Rabbits instinctively establish a certain area of their burrow (or your house) as their bathroom. I read that the easiest method to train a young rabbit is to first let it choose its bathroom. Once you find the droppings or pee, put the litter box in that area. Your rabbit will continue to do its business in the litter box.


Once your rabbit is trained, you can relocate the litter box, and the rabbit will understand.How to train a rabbit to pee and poop at the right place?
My rabbit pees in her food dish all the time... No matter where I place it. She pushes it to one of 2 corners ans does her business lol she has no shame

Try using a litter box. To train the animal to use it, you should look at the bottom of the cage. You will notice that the animal tends to go in one particular area more then any other. Place the box/pan there (along with recycled kitty litter, rabbits might try and eat it and you want to use stuff like ';Yesterday's News'; that won't harm them)





After a while you might see them go in the box, or maybe move it away from that corner. Just keep being persistent and tie to box in if you have to. Rabbits are creatures of habit and with get into a certain groove when given the time.





If you let the rabbit out of the cage after being trained, a lot of time the rabbit will just hope back into the cage and go in the box since it won;t feel comfortable going anywhere else.





And remember, be patient!
bunny will usually choose a spot to pee. So use that as a place where it pees.If it pees any old how, then when ever it pees show it to the palce what it should pee,scoop the pee to where is is suppose to be and award it if it has done it correctly. You can also go to the pet shop to buy a kit that consist of toilet and some substances where the bunny smells it and wuld know where to pee n poo.


( the above methods i have suggested are for pee n poos they worked for my bunny when he was 3 months old)
Place a rabbit friendly litter tray in the corner he uses as a toilet put timothy hay in it, your rabbit will sit in the tray, eat the hay at the front of it and use the back of it as a bath room


also just till he gets use to the tray sweep up any droppings and put them in the back of the tray he will soon know were the bath room is, worked for my rabbit and me
Hi! great choice of getting a bunny for a pet, i love htem :)





for my bunny what I did was simply get a tray and put in feline pine (which is a great litter that doesn't smell or keep the urine smell in teh air) then placed hay inside the tray as well. What this does is try to show the bunny they can eat and pee and poo in one spot. Your bunny will natrually pick one ';corner'; to do their duties, once you find out which one that is, place the hay/food inside the tray. this should work and probably will, best of luck to you!
Rabbits can be litter trained. Use Yesterday's News or some other non-clay, non-clumping, unscented litter as they do chew it.





Rabbits are a one-stop-shopping animal: They like to poop and eat at the same time. Put a box about 1 inch high and about a foot square in a corner with a layer of litter in it. Put some of its hay or high value treats in the box as well.





If you can put some newspaper that has already been soiled in the litter pan too, that can help as well. They like to be clean and it will help them to figure it out. Patience and consistancy.
um it dosent work this is not a dog.i had a rabbit 4 almost 2 years mine picks a spot where is poops and pees and thats how it is.not matter what i tried it will always do it on the same spot. get him a big cage and put him in there the once in a while take him out on the yard.
Get a big dish drying rack with a bottom ( as a pee tray) and place your rabbit's food bowl into it. Rabbits pee and poo as they eat so they will not soil other places if it eats in the dish rack.
i highly doubt this is possible, rabbits arent exactly trainable, they also tend to pee and poop where they want and can often do their business in a certain spot or corner, theres nothing much you can do to prevent this either, but good luck
u show him were it is then u see if he poops and pees on the right place if not u give the bunny a tap on the but and show him or her were to use the bathroom








hope i helped
I used a litter box for mine (thumper) :)
when he do his stuff in the right spot give him a treat :]
Hire a rabbit trainer or lock the rabbit in a box
beat it

  1. My rabbit lives in our kitchen and has a huge set up. Unfortunately, she likes to poop in the same spot next to the stove and the kitchen sink. I tried putting the litter box in that corner and later relocating it, but she still goes in the same exact spot regardless of where the litter box is. How can I break her of going to the bathroom in such an inconvenient spot?
