How to train a rabbit to pee and poop at the right place?

i hope to train my little rabbit to pee and poop out of his pillow.


and train him to pee and poop at the right place when i let him out for his own activities... Anyone can help me???How to train a rabbit to pee and poop at the right place?
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?

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

How can I persuade my Mum to let me have a rabbit?

We have some hamsters but I'm going to high school in September so I won't be around - but I KNOW I can look after him/her properly! Any suggestions?How can I persuade my Mum to let me have a rabbit?
First, buy and read one or two books on the subject of raising rabbits. I like ';Raising Rabbits the Modern Way'; by Bob Bennett. That will give you the knowledge you need before getting a rabbit. Next, build a cage for it and set it up with a feeder and water bottle. Last, buy a bag of pelleted rabbit feed. When you have done these things it shouldn't be too hard to convince your parents that you're ready to care for a rabbit.How can I persuade my Mum to let me have a rabbit?
I suggest you don't question your mothers descision on the subject. If you do, you are just proving you are too immature to get another pet, and she is right.





Prove her wrong by being sensible about it. Insteadof trying to convince her, say:





'That's fine Mom, thanks anyway. Maybe we can get a rabbit when I'm older or you think I can handle it'





That will prove to her that you are mature, and then she will let you get a rabbit when she thinks everyone is ready.





Have patience and manners. And also respect for your parents at all times.





Think about it; If you had a rabbit but one day had to give it away, would you give it to this kid:





'Awwwww but I want the rabbit! Don't give that person the rabbit! OMG I can SOOOOO look after that rabbit! Why don't you give it to me? Awww you are so UNFAIR! I HATE YOU.'





Or this kid:





'I think I can look after that rabbit really well, and I would really love her! If you decide to give her to me soon I would be really happy and grateful - but it's your choice because I know you know whats best'
If your mum is anything like my mum, you can die the thought... You see, I waited many years til I had my own house to get my pet rabbit. Haha! Good luck with your mum!

What is the best way to dry and preserve a fresh rabbit pelt/skin?

What are some easy steps to insure that the fresh rabbit skin/pelt/fur doesn't go bad? How should I dry and preserve the skin while at home? What should I use and how should I use it... Thanks for the details... JessiWhat is the best way to dry and preserve a fresh rabbit pelt/skin?
Well after it is skinned you need a cool and dry place for it to dry. Tack it down with it stretched out a little, otherwise it will shrink. Make sure you are using NON-iodized salt or the skin will turn a blueish color. Be very generous with some salt and make sure it gets good and dried out. It takes a while.





Then you need to get some tanning formula and tan the hide.What is the best way to dry and preserve a fresh rabbit pelt/skin?
Iodized salt will not turn the skin a blue colour at all.

I watch on a documentary thats said a rat and a rabbit can mate?

and that when they do, there offspring has a rabbits body with a rats head. does anybody know if there is a link to webpage so i can verify this.I watch on a documentary thats said a rat and a rabbit can mate?
They would be no website, because it is impossible.





Two different species are not able to have babies together.I watch on a documentary thats said a rat and a rabbit can mate?
Rabbits cannot mate with anything except another rabbit. So no, they cannot. Rabbits aren't even rodents, so they aren't even related to rats at all.





Things like horses and donkeys or lions and tigers can breed because their species are closely related and they share many similar genes. Though in the wild this would never happen.
Where did you watch this so called ';documentary';. Last time I check, different animals sperm is not compatible with other animals eggs. So no, a rat and rabbit can not make babies.








Kind Lady
Actually 2 different species can mate, like horses and donkeys but their offspring would be sterile (they can't have babies). But I'm pretty sure that rabbits and rats can't mate.
there is no website bcause you cant do that its like breeding a dog with a cat!





lol





Hope i helped

    Can a 1 month rabbit survive by its own?

    I have a bunny rabbit that is being abandon by its mother. Its a 1 month old male. It cant drink by its own and needs assistance.Can a 1 month rabbit survive by its own?
    it isnt the best situation but with a little help it should survive.





    i adopted a less than 1 week old baby rabbit about a year ago!! everyone thought she would never survive but she did!!





    my secret was brown bread (no crusts) soaked in milk in a saucer. they will drink the milk and suck on the bread also give it some baby rabbit mix if it feels like it.





    if its not drinking much put some apple juice in its water bottle at about 1/3 topped up with water, this will make it more palatable for him.





    warm up a hot water bottle so its warm but not hot to touch (if its too hot to hold on your face its too hot!) then wrap it in a old towel and put it in with the baby this will mimic its mothers body temp.





    hope this helps xxCan a 1 month rabbit survive by its own?
    Yes they are very independant.
    no u should bring it to a vet
