Training your pet rabbits to use a litter tray indoors

Training your pet to pick up a new habit takes time and patience, regardless of what the new skill is, and training rabbits to use a litter tray is no different.

With time, just like cats, rabbits can be trained to use a litter tray.

Training rabbits to use a litter tray can be done at any age, though neutered rabbits are usually a bit easier to train, as they're less likely to urine mark around the home.

There are a few things you'll need before you can start training, including a large litter tray with one low side so that they can get in and out easily.

Ideally, the back should be around 10-20cm high. Use safe litter such as paper-based litter, hay, or straw.
