A rabbit is easy to litter train, especially if the rabbit has been spayed or neutered. When a rabbit is placed in a new area, it is common for him to mark the area with his droppings. After he gets acquainted to the area, he naturally starts favoring a certain location. A litter box, usually a small cat litter box, filled with about one inch of non-toxic litter, is placed there. Most pet stores carry safe litter that is easy to handle, clean, and absorbent. Sawdust pellets (wood stove fuel pellets), Carefresh, and Yesterday’s News are popular. Litter made from pine or cedar is not used because inhaling the aromatic oils in them may cause liver damage to the rabbit. Placing the hay close to the litter box can speed up the training, since rabbits like to defecate and eat at the same time.
